370z Paint Defects

Here are some pics of how I fixed it. BTW, it is not a paint defect, it is a molding flaw. There is a small raised bump at the corner which make the paint rub off. The passenger side does not have the bump, so it does not have the paint rubbing issue.

BTW, I only have 600 miles on the car and it was already starting to peel. I applied some crazy glue under the paint so it would not get any worse, and will later apply some touch up paint.

Here I glued a small strip of plastic I cut from a CD case lid. The thickness seems to be perfect.





Here is how it looks when mounted.




and from where you are standing, you can't see the plastic strip.



I did the other side as well, just to be safe. I will probably do the rear corners also.

just went and checked all four of mine and the only one that had missing paint was the passenger rear...

you actually have to get down on the driveway and look up to see it at the very tip of the plastic...

its barely noticable, but non the less it looks to be a factory defect that nissan should honor under warranty...
