Dash Delaminating Issues
I don’t want to kick the dead horse again and again but does anyone know if GM has addressed the delaminating issues? I haven’t seen the thread discussed recently. Helpful and informative responses only please !

If my dash were to delaminate, I would take the car to the dealer for a warranty repair. That is how GM expects defects to be addressed.

Has nothing to due with the color. It has to do with the type of adhesive that is used on the 3LT trim upgrade.

That's correct, no matter C6, C7, C8 it's 3LT leather dashes only. I've never seen/heard of a cracking-delamination issue with the 1LT/2LT dash.

A nano ceramic windshield tint, say 80%, would help to greatly reduce heat and UV damage. If I had a LT3 this would be a must do.

With all of the delaminating posts I have read, C7's and now C8's, has anyone ever submitted the question to Ask Tadge, and actually got a response from him regarding the issue. I would like to see what he has to say.
