Chrome window trim fault

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

Received the car in early Jan. Recently noticed that the chrome window trim on the driver's side is retaining water underneath it, especially noticeable after washing the car/or after it's been raining. Started off as a little bubble, and has now spread further down the chrome trim. 

 

It's booked in at my local Skoda dealership next week for them to look at, so hopefully they'll be able to repair/fix under warranty.

 

Just wondered if anyone else has come across this issue before?

The strip looks a bit mangled, roughly in line with the "door locked" LED.

Probably not the best photos I've uploaded to be honest. The strip is fine (as in no damage/hasn't been mangled), but the water has got in-between the chrome strip and the laminate finish on top of the strip. I'm guessing the water could be getting in from the very end of the strip? Those lines in the photo are bubbles from the water which has since evaporated after washing/rainwater.
