Unless you bought an extended warranty, it's history!

lol, wow! I just sold one to a guy on this forum. I didn't know they were $400 bux... I let it go for $20!

If I were you, I would just go up to the dealer and see what they say.

Have the same exact issue. I'm thinking about cf wrapping the console and possibly peeling off the rest of the chrome and wrapping that as well
