My wife has only driven the X5 a couple of times, I just think it's made of crappy material.

BTW my wife does not drive this truck
and still the wheel peels
I don't put cream on my hands, they are soft enough!!!!!!

My glove box looked exactly like that. The dealer ordered a new door and replaced it under warranty. I think the glue they used is the problem.

Did they replace or just re-glue?

I thought I might have been the only one to have this problem, as I just had my glove box trim replaced less than a week ago. Had the same exact issue where the soft plastic trim was lifting at all four corners. The SA and paper work indicate that the entire trim had been replaced so I'm assuming it wasn't just a re-glue job.

BTW: also had issues with the peeling trim on the rubbery part of the steering wheel. It wasn't a big enough issue to warrant a trip to the dealer alone, but a couple of things collectively prompted a vist and a fix all under warranty.

Now the steering wheel and glove box lid look good as new. Hope the replacements last long, as I would hate to make this a regular part of the "maintenance" process.

Good luck and try your dealer if you're experiencing the same issues.

Thanks mate, I will definately try to get it repaired under warranty.
