HP-2: Rubberized Coating Rubbing Off of HP-2

[ka9rxk]

I have a Uniden HomePatrol-II and the rubberized coating that frames the front of the radio is starting to rub off. You can see the shiny black that is behind it.

Has anyone ever replaced the front of their HomePatrol-II for this reason? Anyone know the part number or price of the replacement part?

Thanks!

Not any help, but you aren't alone...

Same here. The coating is very fragile and flakes off easily.

I'm still under warranty and wonder if this would be covered?

Has anyone sent their HP-2 to Uniden or replaced the bezel?

Today I sent a message (W417648-071316) to Uniden Customer Support about this issue. Here is the response that I received:

Dear Valued Uniden Customer,

Unfortunately the the rubberized piece can only be replaced by opening up the unit and taking it apart. The coating also cannot be applied while the unit is assembled. The only way we could replace the coating is if you sent it in. Although this is covered under the device's 1 year warranty, the normal charge for this would be $79.95. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for Choosing Uniden
