Plastic Cover Center Console
So please don't make fun of me, I picked up my car about 2 weeks ago but haven't had time to drive it, only about 80 miles on it.
I have left the plastic cover on the center console screen. Have any of you left this one or will it melt if I don't remove it? Im just trying to enjoy the clean fingerprint free screen. |

Took mime off right away.
Touch screen works better without it.

It won't melt. The storage this cars with all that plastic on for months. A couple more of weeks won't hurt anyone.... even though I removed mine too. Screen is more sensitive to touch without it

If left on for a very long time, I suspect the adhesive or plastic film will break down to a point that removal will be virtually impossible. I buddy of mine missed a piece of similar film on a refrigerator shelf. After a couple of years the film just crumbles where it comes off at all. The adhesive looks as if it has crystalized and is impossible to remove without solvent. I just keep a nice microfiber cloth in the console and periodically wipe off the screen.

it's a car, not the hope diamond.......take it off, carry a microfiber and clean it to your hearts content....
it's "new car syndrome" same thing exists on apple phone sites where they won't take off the plastic on the phone.... |

I was pulling the plastic off mine as the dealer was trying to explain all the features to me. Think I annoyed him lol!
