I noticed today that the plug cover for the aux input is crumbling like dried out rubber. Anyone else encounter this?

I saw it and my first thought was "Seriously? Are you kidding me?"

Dumbest part malfunction I've ever seen.

 

Yes, mine got to the point where i just ripped it out. I've considered getting a new one but never got around to it. I have an 09' base model with 92k miles.

 

This happened to mine. My thought was "Huh??" Very strange. I ended up just taking it off. I use a Himbox Bluetooth set and so there is always, always a cable sticking out of my AUX port.
