It won’t help. The problem is the cabin heat melting the glue behind the screen. If you want to help prevent the issue, look into window films for your windshield, to try and reduce cabin temps.
Did you have any luck? I’m in the same situation right now
Called Dodge Customer Care and they noted the delamination, but said they would not replace the unit. I then called the Uconnect customer number, but Stellantis customer care answered the call. The agent was great and stated the issue is quite common. He noted the account and stated the claim would be forwarded to the powers that be. This was about a month ago and there has been no additional communication. The Stellantis agent did say to keep any receipts if I decide to repair the unit, since he believed a recall is coming...we'll see.
That's a fair price. Mine was $950 but they only charged me for the 1 hour of labor instead of the book labor of 2 hours. They have done hundreds of these at the dealership I visited and said they were certain there would be no recall. If you can get by with the actual labor time as the charge you will be getting a good deal. If you snap a trim piece clip doing something yourself it will cost you a fortune to replace it. Have a buddy that runs an upholstery and trim shop. Large sign when you walk in that says they are not responsible for any plastic trim piece breakage if the car is older than five years. Only makes sense. The dealer is taking this on since it's a "Dodge" problem to start with.
Some say it is. My 2017 Scat was purchased used with 3K miles back in 2018 or early 19. It has super dark tint, is always garaged, and has a custom fitted sun visor for any time spent outside longer than twenty minutes. The design of the unit is defective and the number that have been replaced has got to be staggering. At the dealership that corrected mine they have trained one person to do the swap. They mentioned doing hundreds and that was exactly one year ago. They may be over a 1000 at this point - the customer will never find that number. I did know the manufacturer of the defective units but I have forgotten. Seems like Panasonic or Motorola but I could be wrong. Very strange to me that Stellantis would not force the supplier to make good on the part.
