Dashboard bubbling

Here are a few pictures of the dashboard "bubbling" I have read about. This is on a 2014 Convertible I just bought. I also purchased a extended BTB warranty. Has anyone tried to make a claim for this? Will this get progressively worse?

What color is that dash, can’t tell if it is black or brownstone? I have heard of a few cars with this problem. Sorry I can’t offer any help on a fix.

I should have done a forum search before I wrote this. Wow! Definately not an isolated problem. I sure hate the thought of tearing out the dash to replace the leather, especially on my dime!. If stays as it is, I can live with it. Does anyone have experience where this gets worse, or not worse, over time

That is a sad sight to see. I am assuming a 3LT interior, right?

Wow, that looks horrible. You purchased the C7 with the dash like that?

Dang. Sorry to see this.

Hopefully, your extended warranty covers this. If it does, it will be the best one to purchase. Let us know which one it is.

Even the GM-sactioned Chevrolet Protection Plan does not cover upholstery and interior trim. As stated above, if yours does, please let us know! Best of luck to you!

Black interior.
