OK... DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? AS THE REAR HATCH CLOSES IT SLOWWWLY RUBS THE PAINT OFF AT CONTACT?

 

i am having the same issue... i am going to add a piece of clear bra film/helicopter tape to protect from further wear.

 

XFire1/Andrew, I noticed this on Saturday at Carlisle...Clear film protector sounds right Andrew.

 

My coupe came with a clear film already on the car in this area.

 

At least you know that the hatch bumpers are making contact.

PS I have it too.

 

yup, i got it too.

 

WHAT YEAR IS YOUR COUPE? DC OBVIOUSLY KNOWS OF IT SINCE THEY HAVE BEGUN CORRECTIVE MEASURES...


ONE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I MUST BE ***SLAMMING*** IT SHUT... NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY WERE "2" DEALERS AGO!

ALSO LOOK OUT FOR THE RUST SPOT(S) THAT I'VE NOTICED MONTHS BACK...

SEE THREAD::: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...highlight=RUST
RUST SPOTS

I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER "FOR THE RECORD" HOWEVER I HAVENT BROUGHT IT IN TO RECTIFY IT YET...

 

Yup same problem.

 

would love to get a piece of 3m mask to cover mine, perhaps a extra piece when my emblems ship. yehaw

 

exactly the same. maybe the problem are some ingredients in the rubber itself (that stuff that makes the rubber soft, I do not know the english term, softener?). this might be too aggressive for the paint. some of you might know the problem from older model kits (cars). the rubber made tires were able to melt down the plastic rims because of that stuff.

I have it too, not a problem, just the way it is...
If it bothers you touch up and put some thick clear vinyl on it.

 

Mine came with the clear tape installed, build date of 02-05'.

 

Mine came with felt bumpers on the paint...they lasted about three washes, and peeled off. I use the fuzzy side of a velco strip with double sided automotive trim tape and replace it about every other month as it starts to peel from washing. No paint problems so far. And, the indentations from the bumpers is hardly noticeable.

 

...didn't think these many had identical problem...

...its an epidemic.

 

You folks think that is an issue, I'm afraid to tell you to look behind your seats where they make contact with the rear bulkhead... it is not a pretty sight... hooah

I will make a picture or two tomorrow and post on this thread...

 

I have the same problem, a little bit of clear tape works very nice.

 

I wax that area every month. I've had the car for a year, build date was a year prior and NO problem in that area, guess I'm lucky. It's also garage kept which goes a long way in keeping moisture off the car.

I adjusted my bumpers due to noises. I thought it was the wing, but after the adjustment ... silence. I too wax and polish that area ... the bumper marks don't show up.

 

What??? Mine is pristine no contact to the rear of the seat, how big are you? Do you lay down while driving?

 

FirebaseD... Irastasar has a point... funny too!!! Because i sit seriously low leaning way back... but i won't have that problem... since i got the XF the US Flag is there (not intentional).
