Stereo display ruined!
A couple of days ago, I noticed a crystalized like glaze along the lower border of my stereo. One portion was about 1cm in height and width. It really had me wondering what it was. I used a small portion of a clean microfiber towel to wipe it away and it smeared into a solid haze! When you run your finger over the area, it feels like a light coat of hardened glue. I avoided cleaning the rest of the stereo as I knew what would happen if I did. Does anybody know what may have caused this? I'm guessing that it was some form of adhesive from the stereo display. Now I'm stuck with a display unit that's smeared with a cloudy glaze. Not happy since the car is only a year old! Going to the dealership today to show it to them.

I had the same problem appear after taking my car to a car wash... I think that whatever they used to detail the inside of the car isn't compatible with the screen coating itself... You run your finger over the areas and the coating just flakes off... I have purchased a display from another mustang owner, and will swap out in the future...
Hopefully you will get it resolved through warranty... My car has 55k miles, even though it's a 2012, so warranty is not an option for me.

*UPDATE* The dealership replaced the radio display yesterday, but what an ordeal! They gave me a loaner car and the battery died the following morning. Roadside assistance arrived and jump-started it. A couple of hours later, we went to start it and the battery was dead. I called the dealership and told them to come get it.
When I picked up my car last night, I did a walk-around and noticed a dent in the right-wheel quarter panel. Looks like a door slammed into it. The service rep told me that I can return next Wednesday to have a local guy fix it and that they'd give me a loaner car. I'm beyond frustrated!

Why even bring it in for something this small? Just to show my point, i have a rear decklid ahesive thats coming off and clearcoat peeling around the faux gas cap for almost 3 month now. I planning go rtr declid panel soon.Btw theres a thread on how to change it with better screen.
