Default 2011+ Wranglers....Dash bowing around 430N radio...... Solution?

I've done a lot of research and it seems like there is a problem with the plastic dash piece bowing below the 430N radios. My 2012 is doing it and to me it sticks out like a sore thumb..... I can't find where anyone found a fix...... Has one been discovered or are we just SOL?

This is happening on my 2014 below my 730n. Was going to mention this to the dealer next week when I'm in for service.

My 2014 came with it bowed below my 730N with only 22 miles on it. The dealership is replacing the plastic piece that is bowed on Monday.

Thanks guys... Let me know how you make out with the new dash cover. I walked the Jeep lot today and 4 of the 5 Navigation Wranglers had the same problem. All worse than mine.... After seeing the 2014's, I am very hesitant to take it in to Jeep for repair considering it could end up worse.....

I think it's just how that piece is molded I have the 130n in mine and it is slightly bowed at the bottom, I think if I asked my service writer to replace that he would look at me like I'm crazy

For $46k there should be no bow.

That. Mine has bowed since new. They should have put a clip or screw on the backside.

I completely agree with you, but for 46k there should also be a lot less issues that are far more serious with some jeeps. Don't get me wrong I love my new Rubicon and wouldn't want to drive anything else but it would be nice if jeep had a little better quality control. I have learned to live with the small things like this and will only pester my service advisor if a serious issue occurs that I need him on my side.
