Yeah, me 1 of them who has encountered this problem, now still hv to bear with the "defect" on the center console.. did checked with TC b4, they mentioned they din keep stocks, if need to, got to order fr Japan n will be costly.. the other choice is of cos re-spray the panel...
Only strange for me is tt the coatings used on the plastic console is not "chemical resistance", as this is not common anymore (there is lots of coatings/paints which is scratch and chemical resistance in the market)... did feedback to TC but no comment by the SE..
For me, think most of the liquid perfume (esp the alcohol content inside) will react with the coatings, so just be careful..

bros... i kena this ambipur thing today also. it was late @ nite and the airfreshner drop out. so my gf help me put back but she put it upside down... none of us realize it because its so dark. but when i came back about 3 hours later... the car had a very strong smell, so i tot how come so strong, maybe my gf open the vent on the air freshener big big. wahlau... to my horror i saw all the liquid come out and my front console is a goner... sigh.. exactly 6 mths old car :(
any of you found out how much it costs to get it replaced at TCM?
i never trust aftermarket parts. they r usually of low quality and over the years you will start to notice the difference in quality of the plastics used. i don't mind paying for an original replacement...
lastly. dont buy these air freshners. i'll stick to my charcoal.

btw if any of you want to get your panel replaced, maybe we can do a MO with TCM together so it will be cheaper...
i will also call up autosavers to see if they can help
clarence:
A little off topic but talking about air fresheners, did you all notice how toxic it can be to destroy your front console?
I cannot imagine myself breathing in such toxic liquid, which may not have any short term implications to your health, but for long term, I am not so sure.
