I have a 04 525 and today I notice a crack on my wood trim starting from the vent going out about 6 inches. Has anyone else ever experienced this? This should be covered by the dealer right??? There was no impact to cause that Thanks!!

It didn't happen to me. You should immediately go to your dealer and tell them that. When did that happen?

Crack? Is it in the PUR or in the actual wood veneer?

The only "organic experience" my dark poplar trim has had is an encounter with crude oil when being made into plastic.

You have wood veneer in your e60?
