Symptoms of a Damaged Console Mask & Why Replacement is Necessary
- Loose or sagging gear lever gaiter surround that slips out of place when shifting gears.
- Deep unsightly scratches, gouges, or peeling soft-touch coating on the central console.
- Cracked plastic mounting clips causing squeaking or rattling noises from the center tunnel over bumps.
- Why Replace Promptly: A broken console mask degrades cabin luxury aesthetics and allows dirt or dropped coins to fall beneath the tunnel wiring harnesses.
