My 2016 Vantage is about 3 years old. Around the edges of the black panel covering inside of hood/bonnet is showing decay in the form of little white round hard pieces about 1 mm or less. Dealer as usual just made some noises, not rats, maybe coolant spray but at end of conversation not that either. Told me to try toothbrush and some type of cleaner. Windex etc. nothing. Alcohol on paper towel seems to dissolve and give slick feel when rubbed over white spots. Panel is several layers of fabric they said glued together. Maybe glue coming out due to engine heat or sun, car outside under cover, coastal Southern CA., mostly shade.
Thanks, Jay

Mine has done the same thing on all the edges, 2010 DBS, if they won’t replace it for you best bet is to remove it and spray the whole thing with some flat black enamel high heat paint I’d imagine, I just haven’t gotten around to it.
