Dash delamination issue
My dash skin is delaminating (about 1/2 inch) in the crease between the dash and the right side of the instrument cluster. The dealer is willing to replace the entire upper dash, but I wonder if this will cause more problems than it is worth (rattles, squeeks). I know it comes down to how much it bothers me...it is right in my line of sight every time I look down to the dash. Just wondering others thoughts on probability of future problems if I go ahead with a new dash. Also, technicians probably have never done this, being the C6 is so new to them. Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Yep, it may only continue to get worse. If you let it go, you may end up paying cash out of your pocket after the warrantee expires.
If you intend on selling or trading this car later, that delaminated dash will cost you if you don't get it attended to.

Drive it back to Bowling Green and make them fix it at the factory!!! Everytime I have a dealership fix something minor, they create new problems!! I guess it comes down to confidence in your service dept at the dealership! Good luck.
