I have a friend with a degree in embedded systems design from Auburn University. He told me average life expectancy for resistive screens is 7 years. He also told me when mine breaks we'll figure out what needs to be done.
I will post everything we learn here. I'm just not planning on removing a working unit simply to be prepared for the eventual failure.
If anyone has a broken one and would like me and my friend to examine it so we can all find out the "secret," I'd be happy to help.

I never touch it anymore. I have a mount for my phone, and the nav on my phone is ridiculously better than any OEM nav I have ever seen. So the touchscreen has not failed yet. I've got about 115k miles on the car now.

Wow I guess its just the climate or luck. I just turned over 18k miles on my 2008 and it just went out. I have terrible luck though so that may have something to do with it. It seems like many are just replacing the digitizer at this point so I may look into that.

My touchscreen just quit. Haven't taken it to dealer yet. My car only has 44K on it although its an '08. Did your friend ever explore this. Would like to find someone relatively close to do this. I'm not even sure if I am competent enough to take the unit out myself and send it off, much less try to experiment on it. Ugh.
