iDrive Display Bubbles?

[SupraVin]

Hi all! Owner of a 2020 and these bubbles are driving me nuts! Is this a screen protector I could use a heat gun to potentially remove or is the actual screen delaminating? Cleaning doesn't do anything and the bubbles do not move if you put pressure on them. Thanks!

Looks like the wrong type of cleaner was used. This can happen on some tv's if you use ammonia based window cleaners.

Did you buy this car new? It really looks like someone put a screen protector on it

Nope, used!

It looks like the display is starting to delaminate because it was cleaned with inappropriate solvents, I agree.

That COVID Clorox special lol. I’m sure so many cars were being disinfected with some harsh chemicals during the first 6 months of test drives/dealership servicing during early lockdown.

is it discolored too? I would try polishing it before replacing
tape the screen surround, polish with meguiars ultimate compound by hand and what your're trying to do is to give it a uniform finish, at the cost of removing some of the blue coating, you may find the need to remove the coating completely as well.
If that fixes the look, you can get a antiglare screen protector after, there are plastic and glass options, i recommend glass.

Yeah, I’d polish it first too. ScratchX with orange foam pad.
