Air freshener ruined my dash :(

[drezy]

i have the same problem..!!! the liquid air freshner came off the vent one day when i drove over a bump and without looking properly i put it back on upside down... then i realise its leaking... tried to clean it off but its left this awful stain.. ****in bitch!

[snYpz]

call the manufacturer. im sure they will pay for the cost of new dash...its a fault to their product so they should be liable to the costs of the damage. Speak to them and see what they are willing to give you.

yeah ive sent some emails, if they don't reply, ill ring. Auto expressions looks to be a branch company of Shell, so they should do something i think.

HAHAHHAHA.. that's what exactly happened to mine.. it fell on the floor so i picked it up while driving and put it on.. and it stained the fk out of the dash..

So i sprayed the head unit black.. but the surroundings of the headunit are still stained..

never again will i use those air freshners..

Ouch!

I will never put one of those things in my car. I have in the past and never had trouble with them, but I'm not risking it with my angel.

^^ That`s gonna make him feel better...

Keep on them man,hopefully they will play ball,if not it can get tricky/difficult/costly on your part,not to mention a real pain in the ass.

Hopefully someone on here can offer some `legal type advice`

its scary to think that the shit in the air freshener rips paint of in seconds and we are breathing it in :S. no thanks lol. i bought a new center glovebox today from the wreckers, and upper vents. was alot cheaper than brand new. i cant stand looking at it so im gonna fix it in the mean time and keep on the bastards for some money. the expensive bit is gonna be the stereo and buttons face plate im looking at $700 bucks

Just continuously bug them.

If they don't reply take it to fair trading.
They always wish the person making the claim was a sucker make sure you aren't one.

was it because of the sun?
did the anti spill have a little asterix.

well known fact that air freshener will stain the dash... there is are thread about ambi purr and other air freshener leaking and staining. I think one guy got the company to pay for the damage last time, try searching

Good news . got a reply from the company today , they have contacted their rep in Australia and will be processing the claim from here. i have emailed them scanned copy of the quote from Honda of repair costs. hopefully ill get the full amount its looking good at the moment *fingers crossed*
