What an excellent video, I really appreciate your time to document this clear and concise repair procedure for a common problem on these cars, thank you !! This is a KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT. Nissan knew of this problem for years and under a prior class action law suit in FL agreed to replace all of those dashes for free with factory new ones. However, they screwed the rest of us living in other states (there is no sun elsewhere right?) and denied any responsibility for this issue which should have been a Nationwide recall instead leaving us to fend for ourselves. The shiny dash top produces dangerous glare to the driver and was found to be a safety issue. I was quoted $2600 by the dealer to replace for my 2008 Coupe. The new part can be had for about $1000 with discount which is still pricey considering it's their fault. I am told 2007-2010 dashes are all the same and would fit. Unfortunately, no good used ones to be had currently. I am looking into a molded hard topper which I see they make. Was wondering if anyone has tried one of those and what you thought?
@DIYtime
@DIYtime 2 жыл бұрын
Another caveat was you had to file claim until certain date, so if yours melted year later, you are screwed (Im in FL but still got screwed). I used 2012 dash on 2007 car. Had no issues.

I had a dream just moments ago where my mother (not a car enthusiast or have any knowledge on car components other than operation) told me to get my dash replaced. Apparently the car i was using was my dad's 2010 hyundai elantra when irl i use a silver 2010 kia forte sx. Anyway, i asked her "you know how to do that?" as i was obviously quite shocked. She only shrugged in response. She showed it to me and it was glossy plastic and light blue, literally 3x more saturated than the blue paintjob on the car itself. I walked outside my porch, went in the car and that was the end of the dream. I guess it was too weird to see the full story
