I'm assuming it's because I live in Louisiana and it's so hot. I think it's a manufacturing failure. I have the MOPAR extended warranty and they won't cover it.
Dashboard coming undone... Anyone else seen this issue?

Yeah, my car is doing the exact same thing and the exact same spot.
...or even within the warranty period. @AlfaRomeoCares have pretty much ignored it and chalked it off to sun damage.

That’s not too bad. Were you still under warranty?

He had extended warranty, that’s why the $1k deductible.
Actually, I was not under warranty for this. I do have an extended warranty but trim parts are not covered. Alfa took care of it on a one off.
My warranty has a $200 deductible.
Not covered under the MaxCare warranty. You could prove me wrong and I could file for a refund of the $1k deductible as my deductible is $200.

No, not covered under Maxcare. When you mentioned the deductible I thought you had some other 3rd party warranty that covered.

Lucky for those who were able to get @AlfaRomeoCares to cover it outside the warranty because that seems to be the only way to fix it.
I took my car to 3 different auto upholstery shops this week and none of them even want to take up the job to attempt to fix it because they know it either won’t look good or it’s just not possible to get the leather to stretch again since it’s molded to the padding underneath.
Only option seems to be to live with an awful looking damaged dash. Dealer quoted $3.6k parts and labor to replace the dash.
