I have a 2005 Prius with about 20k miles. Like other posts, my panel creeks when I rest my arm on it. However, within the last two weeks it has now started to peel. There is a thin plastic cover over a plastic substrate that has separated and peeled off. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it under warranty? :angry:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Scott G @ May 10 2006, 11:03 PM) [snapback]253289[/snapback]</div> I had the drivers door panel replaced on my 05 Prius under warranty due to the same peeling problem. It was a 10 minute replacement, but the cost of the panel out of warranty was around $525.00 I hope this is a permanent fix.
I also had my driver's door on my 2005 do this. They replaced it under warranty. In the 2006, they have replaced the coverings on the doors with a more textured, durable material. (Whew!)
