Side Molding Chipping

After washing my car yesterday i noticed that the paint on the molding piece that runs from the the front wheel to the rear wheel , the piece in the middle of the two doors is chipping, it seems like the paint is flaking off!!
anyone else ever had this problem before?
I do live in michigan, do you think it's because of the salt?

thanx in advance!

I had the same problem with clearcoat peeling from mouldings on driver side.
Got them replaced under warranty
