I'm wondering if it might be under warranty. The three pieces just pop out. Could be an easy fix - the problem is that the materials for the surrounds might have been degraded for a year or so... Maybe the later or earlier years had a better material.
From what a dealer told me, they ARE covered under the warranty. I've just never had the time to take mine in.

Anyone know what could cause this one part of the paint to degrade like that?
