i actually have noticed that the bezel looks like it has little bumps by the chips which look like bubbles almost..

 

It's happening to my 05 as well.... It sucks!!!

 

I just got mine replaced because of this issue, but now my speed control won't work and the lights don't light up.... they say it has to be 'programed'... how?

 

When I had the 05 GT the right advance button was the only one to wear and no cleaners at that poit were used ? and this started to show in about the 3rd month of having it , the only way they could have fixed it for me was to replace the Shaker, waste of money too badthey didnt have like adheasive button replacements,
I think I'll try like a skin on top like my i-pod screen cover to see if it will work.

 

I took my car in today to have the battery checked and I scheduled an appointment to get the radio fixed. They said that they replaced the radio when the paint chips off.

 

...did dealership cover under warranty??

 

Yeah, they did with mine.
