Bubbling Driver Side Panel

wtiger127 · 10-23-2008, 10:32 AM

Here is a picture of my driver side door leather/vinyl cover bubbling off the top left side of the door. I never used chemicals and is not an area where any parts of my arm/hand would lean against or press into. I know I seen this with someone elses' posting sometime ago in which the guys knees were rubbing the bottom part of the driver side and the same thing occurred. Not sure if it was fixed for him. Anyone know if the dealer would classify this as a defect? Would they fix it under warranty? If not, how do I create a case to have it fixed? Thanks for your input ! PS: Not able to post picture right now as the attachment box is grayed out.

Hello 1Addicts,

I just updated this posting with pictures of the door bubbling. Not sure why I wasn't able to post images earlier.

Any suggestions / Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you know what they did to fix it?

wtiger127 · 11-25-2008, 03:26 PM

I just know it took 1 guy about 6 hours. Or at least is the time between drop-off and time I got called to pickup the car.
