Hi All - I noticed some strange damage to the paint around my side marker shortly after I had my clear side markers replaced.
I feel like the damage occurred during the installation, but I am not quite for what it is - to me, it almost looks like an air bubble in the clear coat, and it extends under both my paint and part of my clear shield. I know that this side marker in particular required quite a big of force, and several tries before it would fit in correctly, so I'm not sure if that is how the damage occurred.
Here are a few images of it - you may or may not be able to tell that it is in both the paint, and also in the paint under the clear shield as the edge of the clear shield is right there (the last picture probably demonstrates this best).
I am doubtful that anything can be done to fix this (short of the non-practical answers such as repainting the front bumper), but I figured I'd ask here before giving up in case someone knows something that I don't, or has had experience with an issue like this.
I apologize for the less-than-ideal image quality - my camera was having a difficult time focusing in on it since the affected area is quite small.
Any helpful insight, or possible solution would be appreciated as this one has been bugging me for a few months now - thank you.
