I recently installed an 8.4" UAS radio and noticed that the corner of the screen appears to be delaminating. I understand this is a common problem with these radios. It's not a crack- it looks like things are starting to peel away. (Fortunately, the FB Marketplace seller was a real standup guy and gave me a partial refund which should cover things.)

Could anyone post links to replacement screens for a 2018 8.4" UAS radio? I've think I'm close to being YouTube certified for this after watching a bunch of videos! Thanks in advance.

Same, @SitKneelBend can you send me the info as well please. I was talking with you in the other thread. I tried to recure the screen with the light but no good. What a ****** situation owning a 3 year old truck with less then 30 k miles and the screen we need to do everything doesn't work.

Cool! We love it there. We’ve been going for over 30 years and have reservations for August. Did you find any good teeth?

For any of you actually thinking of replacing the screen, I recommend doing this modification too while your in there...

...also here is a good screen replacement video that also shows what the bad LOCA looks like pooling on the bottom of the radio.

That's a great video. Unfortunately, his link for the Chinese replacement screen is missing from his notes. Anyone have any links for these? There are some eBay sellers who sell these, but they're slightly damaged (scratches, dings, small leaks).

All of the Chinese sellers are the same ones on ebay. You won't find them for less than $500. If you do, they will send you an email asking for more money...

I am a delamination victim.
So sad to see my truck do this. I guess this is what I get for parking it under the sun too often.
Does anyone have the link to the correct replacement part? Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
