peeling from the sun?
anyone else having that vinyl around your window frame peeling/bubbling on 2nd gen tl's?
i heard that it's fairly common. how do you fix it so it won't do that again. really ruins the clean look.

I've heard of the dash warping, but not peeling. I use 303 protectant to prevent damage. If your still under warantee get into the dealership fast, if not any other ideas besides replacing the pannel?

I think he is talking about the window frames on the door. The black, glossy vinyl trim. They are notorious for bubbling up. Mine is very minor/negligable.
Do a search. Lots of folks have had this problem with several solutions.
Oh and 303 is goooood stuff. Started using it last time I detailed my car. Man oh Man does it last and the black trim/plastic pieces and rubber trim just pop and dont look dry and discolored! Pricey but worth it.

hey, thanks, guys.
i'm not too sure what the dealership will do for me, i'm new in town (just moved) but, i guess it's worth checking out.
