    Anyone deal with the binnacle leather separating (this is the flat piece of the dash over the drivers center instrument cluster). I guess it’s common?

    Did you fix yourself or how much to fix?

    Anyone know where to get a carbon fiber one so that I do. Have to deal with it again?

    Any do it yourself fixes for this?

    I had some bubbling on the dash of my 599 and 430. I used a steamer to reactivate the glue underneath. It worked for me, however if the foam underneath is disintegrating it won’t work. Also if the leather is stretching, that is a different problem.

    I had bubbling on the binnacle on my 430. It cost $500 to fix it which seems a lot. But the leather shop said they couldn't use the same piece of leather (like to stretch and re-glue) so they used a new piece of matching leather.
