So yesterday I had to grab something from my wife in the car. She rolled her window down and I saw this same thing on the passenger door. I checked the drivers door and it is just starting on that one. This car originated in Mesa, Az. and spent a year on the lot before I moved it to a more temperate climate. I just turned over the 10K mile mark. I will be running thru the dealership fast lane tomorrow to get the ball rolling on replacement. I would go with the self repair, but I have enough warranty coverage to last me until I'm dead! This is on my '17 SXT. I'll update after my visit with the dealership.

Door panels are on back-order. I was told not to be surprised if it took 6 months or more to get them in. Class action lawsuits are typically expensive and related to safety as well. Good luck getting a team of lawyers to go after FCS for a few ticked off owners because of a
cosmetic issue. There have been several people who have posted a solution to gluing the panel back down. If mine wasn't under warranty, I would trim a little foam, glue it back down and be happy with it. If class action did nothing for all the baked and pealing clear coat of the '80's and '90's GM products, you aren't going to get much action on a few door panels.

Max Care is the lifetime B to B warranty. I started the warranty claim on the door panels, but was told they are backordered and it might be 6 months getting them. That was about 2 months ago. I haven't followed up yet, need to. The car is still so much fun to drive, I'm enjoying that too much to notice and be bothered by the panels.
