Just wanted to know if any of you are experiencing the door molding at the bottom of the door tearing off? Mine for some reason is tearing off and I always keep my car clean as hell. It seems like the winter weather has caused this. Any of you know if this is covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. I am talking about the rubber molding that is the same color of your car at the bottom of the driver and passenger door.

Thanks

 

Is it the rubber door seal that goes all the way around the door on the inside that you mean?
or is it the painted molding across the bottom of the door?

I would think either one should be covered under warranty .....

I think he is saying the one at the bottom of the door since it's the only colour matched one. I agree that would be covered under the 4 year 100k warranty.

I suggest you just take it to the dealer white gts

 

Oh, ok........the body coloured plastic door edge at the bottom of the door.
Gotcha....

yeah has to be warranty as long as he's within time and mileage constraints.

Ah, maybe you just got up from a late morning nap.

 

I'm on holiday since 1998.....

Yeah mine started to come off when I was washing the car. I just cut it off with scissors (cut only 1 inch off) and its been a year now and everything is fine.

 

Hey Guys,

I just had the same thing happen. I went to both Yorkville and Alta and they told me that it was NOT covered under the warranty. They said that it was common for this piece to fall off. It was around $80 for a new piece if I remember, plus the cost to paint it to match your car.

Hope this helps

Dave

Very nice. I'm well on my way.

 

It is the rubbber molding that goes across the bottom of the door thats painted the same color. I hope they will cover it underwarranty but I guess I wont know till Tuesday of this week.

 

All I have to say is they better cover it or I'm gonna bitch and complain very hard. Spent about 60,000CAD on the car and I only have 23,000KM on the car so they better fix it. I beleive the cold freeze weather we had in the Toronto area early this week caused it as my door was all covered in ice so I assume when I opened the door the rubber was frozen with the car and it ripped it. Regardless it is a car and it should withstand any type of weather.

 

i need to replace mine. body shop said they can get it for 85 bucks (one buck per clip)

keep in mind body shops get discounts

 

That's odd. Jerry replaced my driver side under warranty. He did tell me I only get one replacement per side. But after the replacement, everything is fine now. I think it happens in winter because my woman opening the door, and pushing the door into a snowbank on our driveway. The bottom of the door would put a big dent into the snowbanks. She thought it was a great idea, because it wedged the door and it wouldn't close on her on windy days when she was trying to get her briefcase out.

 

i agree with you. It's not a wear item and should be expected to stay in place as it was manufactured to do, even in our normal winter environment in Canada. A warranty isn't much good if manufacuturers and dealers won't stand behind their product.
