side foam window peeling..
 

not sure if this is the right place to post this but move to right place :thumbsup:

but yeah this side foam window guard thing is like peeling or breaking off easy just noticed it and another little piece is starting to come off and i just pushed it back in.. is there something i can put to help it not crack over time like a armorall?

seems like this wont last long after a while..should be part of a warranty replacement :iono:

Should be a warranty item. Hit the dealer.

That looks like wear and tear. I wouldn't expect they'll replace it. Put some silicone rubber protectant on there before it gets worse.

Please don't use ArmorAll on that. It'll dry out and ruin the material faster. Use this to condition it instead:

Ah thanks.. Yeah not digging this cheap foam thing..should of been a better material

@marky didn't you just get your car less than 2-3 weeks ago? I would understand the dealership not replacing this part under normal wear and tear, but isn't it a bit odd that this foam is tearing already in such a short time?

Yeah.. That foam thing is very easy to rip..seems like it will decay from the sun after a while..should of been a rubber not a foam like...

Geez, now you made me go out to my garage and have a look. It sure is some cheap stuff. At least it's lightweight and every little bit counts for that goal. I see the wear already on my driver's side. Appears to be from the window sliding closed one inch every time the door closes. It seems to be such a lightweight and porous foam, now I'm not sure what I would put on it if anything.

Not sure what you're pointing out with that pic. I see a tiny gouge which is not peeling, looks more like something got snagged.
The other part above that that has a mottled appearance looks like a defect in the forming process at the factory. I've seen these defects before but thats definitely not the best place to have that....

I've had my at for 3 weeks and it looks like that in the pic (the top part where the window rubs against it). horribly cheap. it def wont hold up long I hope they'll replace it under warranty with a better MY2014 part when it comes out

yeah should be like a hard plastic like on the front side next to the little window on the front.. not digging this foam :thumbdown:

yeah i ment like flaking/peeling something like that.. but yeah looks like it wont last long and im careful too.. had no idea how that happen but theres another little chunk coming off and i just pushed it down and you cant really see it..

yeah not feeling it..seems like a thing for someone to look at and try to break into it with a metal coat hanger... this can be ripped off easy with bare hand..

same issue here, just not as worse, and I take care to every part of the car.

You're not alone

My FRS is starting to show the same wear in those "foam" parts. I purchased the car only 3 weeks ago.

Does the BRZ use the same foam?
