Hi all. So yesterday I was taking my rear decklid off to plastidip the emblem black. When I was cleaning the edges from pollen buildup, I noticed that in 3 spots the trunk was hitting the lights. The paint was chipped on the passenger side right on corner of the trunk and at the edge where the decklid corner meets the trunk.
The decklid edge corner was the same on the drivers side.
I have a touchup pen and fixed the spots. They're inconspicuous once the trunk is shut anyways, but I feel like this issue will keep repeating. I never slam the trunk in case you're wondering.
I adjusted the rubber stoppers to where I think they're safe at, but I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue? I've seen people complaining of the decklid hitting the bumper. Luckily that's not the case with me.
I also noticed what look like paint bubbles on the very edge and near the trunk seal. Looks just like the hood corrosion issue, except it's on my trunk. I think I'm going to take it to the dealer and complain to them. The taillights aren't cheap, so I guess I'm glad I caught this before they cracked.
I'll take some pics during my lunch break.
