Anyone else experience this?

I noticed this today, on the top (just below the window) just above the door handles on both door panels. My car sits outside in the sun all day (with a sun visor in the windshield) to try and keep the sun off the dash, etc.

Car is 3.5 months old, with 6700 miles on it.

It's too dark to take pictures right now, I'll see if I can get any tomorrow.

Upadate 9/15/06:
I showed the panels to the service department yesterday when I dropped the car off for the 10K mile oil change. They are replacing both panels under warranty, no questions asked. Parts are on order.

 

i think thats actually the texture... are you saying the little wrinkles on the top part above the cloth? if so thats stock... unless mines like you....

if worried take it back to the dealer. youre still under warrantee.

 

I'll try to take a picture of it today. It's not the "texture". I just noticed it yesterday for the first time too, and have cleaned the interior over the weekend.

All I did was use come clean wipes and dust things off too, so this sort of surprised me.

I have it, too.

 

Here are the pictures:

Drivers Door not as bad:




Passenger Door:






Looks like I am going to make an appointment with the dealer and talk about this. Kind of odd.

I have the exact same thing goin on in my car... weird

 

i havnt notice it on my car...i guess i better check

 

I've got it on the passenger side door about 6" from the mirror. It's kinda sad, I work at the dealership and I haven't had a chance to ask anybody about it. I don't guess it has worried me enough to take the time and ask.

 

I'll be checking my car. With my eyes and the way it's textured I'd have to look real close.

 

Well, I feel better I am not the only one. I'll have to ask the dealer about it one of these days when I have time to bring it in.

hehe even if i did have the wrinkles it doesnt matter to me... im goin to be getting a FULL CF door panel in a couple months anyways :D

 

dude... those are all stock... look at the dash... look in the back seats.. ALL STOCK! its the texture!

 

duuude look at the picture he posted....

 

ESHHHHH sorry >.< wrong wrinkles... i thought he was talking about the horizontal ones... not the vertical ones... sorry man... warrantee should fix that right up... ask for new door panels.

 

It may have been there all the time you just never noticed it. It could have came out of the injection molder with the ripples in it. And if the same press was having issues that could explain why others have similar issues. These should have been caught by QC but didn't.

 

Something like that WOULD have been caught by QC. I can't imagine they have had their cars the whole time and never noticed wrinkles that big. If they were noticable in a picture, then QC would have caught them.

 

Most QC checks only one or a few out of so many in a batch of how ever many. For example with computer parts (let's say memory) they check like 1 out of every 1000 sticks and it would be rated as low quality, 1 out of 500 stick would be good quality, and 1 out of 100 would be top quality. So maybe the ones with wrinkles were in the ones they didn't check.

 

I understand that is the case because we only check x amount of shafts that come in from Aldila and Grafalloy (golf equipment) before we assemble our clubs, but I don't think cars would be the same. Since they come off the line and someone has to drive them a few times before they are at the dealers, you would imagine someone would notice that.
