Have melted mark on shifter panel

Dealer says not a warranty item but first time sales dept paid for it. This time ordered part but didn't say directly no cost. Said if I smoked he would guess a cigarette burn. Duh, is less than 1/4" wide and about an inch long. Same as first one but different location. I want to see what is under that cover. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Do you really think they will try to solve the problem or just replace it again?

Call Subaru Corporate Office if the dealer don't want to take care of it! Tell them you would like it to be fixed..

Good idea! They are really helpful. Hopefully won't come to that.
