That’s pretty cool. Can you post up some pics of how it looks now?

Could you please let me know how did you remove those trim panes because I am planning to do the same for my GSF.

What causes this?
My car is a 2016 model and I live in a very hot environment and haven't experienced this yet.

Was it a defective production batch?

My guess is UV and cold. It's currently winter here and during the colder weeks, it's gotten worse.

Same issue with my 2016 GSF. Both dash pieces and now the piece in front of the shifter. If you do not go to the trouble of re-laminating - any consequence? It doesn't look bad just the flat carbon fiber. Thanks all.

I like in FL and on the left side, where it gets most sun, is starting to come off. Dealer said they won't do anything. Ill call corp and see.

I am also interested in how this is done for future reference. I am sure that there are others on here that will need this as well down the road.
