Hi, the gloss of the aluminium window capping strip on my 2008 A4 has deteriorated on the RHS rear door. The corroded area seems to be increasing in size along this strip since I first noticed a few weeks ago. I'll post a photo over the next few days as it is mainly noticeable in certain light.
My dealer said it wouldn't be covered under warranty, as someone may have sprayed something on the surface, causing it to deteriorate. The cleaning products used on the car have been applied to all surfaces, so if they caused the problem the deterioration should be evident on the other aluminium strips, which it isn't.
Has anyone else experienced any problems with their trim? Grateful for any comments.
