Peeling Paint
I'm looking at buying a 2003 TL Type -S. The rear black window frames have some sort of paint peeling/blistering going on. It looks like a plastic film, rather than just paint. Is this normal? Is there a quick fix?

Replacements?
Rick,
Thanks for the info. Is the window frame a plastic cover that you can purchase?
Do you know what causes it? (heat, washing, etc.)?
I'm still thinking about buying the car for other reasons, but I'd spend the $ to fix it if the cost isn't too much.
Thanks again!
Harry

Yeah but it'll happen again, I had mine fixed twice under warranty and it's happening again.

Painted and looks great
I finally got the side pieces PAINTED. It took the dealer 3 days to do it, but they did it at no charge and they look perfect. I'll check back in a year from now and see if the paint holds up.
