Just read CiscoCerna's thread "Is this happening to you" and I have an 06 with exactly the same problem.

While I understand people thinking that CiscoCerna is abusing his car, it seems to me that this is a problem with a certain batch of the ruberized finished interiors of the 06.

Will post pictures if anyones interested.

 

post pics please so i know what you're talking about exactly.

 

will take pictures tomorrow am, but they look similar to the pictures in this thread https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/294356-is-this-happening-to-you.html

 

ohhh yes. i see. i have that problem too. i just assumed it was caused from my rings when i go to close the door. cause thats where mine are. i talked to JDMZ33 about maybe getting a CF piece to fit over it. =)

 

about when was your 06 built?

 

My 06 was built in June. I have emailed JDMZ33 about the cf replacement and he says that he doesn't stock 06 panels and will need to get them made as a special order. Maybe if you're interested we could do a combined order, it might help with the cost.

 

well, first i'm going to see if nissan will replace mine. cause i'm gonna bring pics of theirs up there too and convince them that its not just normal wear and tear.

 

YES!!! The rubberized coating has worn off the cubby switch, and the coating is wearing off the drivers side door handle (grip area). It's as if repeated touching from your hands causes it to "gunk up" or something and wear away. I keep my interior immaculate, it's not an issue of abuse either. Do other years have this issue? Or was this a bad finishing process for 2006 only?

My '06 was built in June as well. This should be replaced as a warranty item IMO.

i think it should be replaces as a warranty item also. and yes, its only the 06s. all other years have some sort of plastic instead of the rubber finish.

 

I just have the steering wheel and shift **** issue. No biggy though. Just replace the steering wheel and shift ****.

 

It will be tough to convince the dealer that this is a warranty issue... Im not sure how we could go about that.

 

i'm not sure either. but it won't hurt to try.

 

my 04 has this on the drivers side pull? it's kept clean and not at all abused only 26,xxxx miles on the car, and yes i bought it new.

 

Perhaps we should all post pictures of the damage, that would show that the issue is not just isolated to an individual car.

I have the same problem on my cubby door, steering wheel, right side window switch area and on my AC *****. It was that way when i bought it used however. I also have an 06. I was thinking of a CF kit to fix most of it but i dont know how to fix the silver part on the steering wheel or my AC *****.

 

thats ur car olivia? damn looks bad...i guess i need to inspect mine when she comes home

 

we need to all complain to nissan. hopefully then they'll realize its a problem!!!
