LOOK: Paint came off my xB!
Has anyone else had this happen? The paint had peeled off the right side skirt on my BSP xB. I was driving on the freeway one morning when I heard this faint slapping sound. When I got to my destination, I looked at the side of my car to find what looked like a long strip of tint stuck to the door and side skirt. I pulled on it to find that it was still semi-attahed to the skirt and that it was actually almost all of the paint that had peeled away from the skirt. I pulled more, and the paint strip ripped off of the car leaving only a small section still painted. Luckily, the gel coat on the skirt itself is black, so it just looked like a really dull or dirty part on my car.
I took it back the dealer, and explained what happened. The manager there thought that it was a poorly prepped part and that when it rained here recently, the paint had lost it's adhesion. Three trips back the dealer later (antother story all-together), I had a brand new side skirt installed at no cost. I wonder if this is happeneing to all Scions, just xB's, just the BSP's or is an isolated case? Chime in!

Wow I've never seen a problem like this. I'm glad you got it taken care of by the dealer for free. It's definately a defective paint job.
