You correctly identified the signs of a warping dash. The dash will begin to curl up where it meets the window. Next you will notice some small blisters that get larger. After that, many owners have reported the defroster vent popping out and the dash curling more in this area. Mine started this process at about 15k. I took it to the dealer and they recommened that I wait until I am closer to the end of my warranty and hope that engineering comes up with a fix. Apparently they have done nothing. I have contacted Ford on multiple occasions requesting an update on what is being done and they never return my calls. This should be a recall because everyone who has their dash replaced, has the same problem the following summer. It's a clear product defect. You have the early signs...watch it close and call Ford to register your problem at (800) 392-3673.

Guys, I have a quick and stupid question.

What are the signs of a warping dashboard?
Mine seems to be curling up close to the windshield but I'm not sure if thats the sign or if its normal. I keep my dash always well coated with 3 extra layers of Armor all Protectant and a layer of Dashboard Silicon protector (this stuff is supposed to help the elasticity of the material).

The reason I want to know is because I want to be certain before I go running to the dealer and they tell me to take a hike. Please....please....please respod back. eek eek confused

Thanks.
