Hello all. It's been a while since I've posted but I do read the threads and now I have a question I can't seem to get answered so I thought I'd ask the experts... Is the sunroof rubber side skirts, like in this picture, covered under the factory warranty? My warranty expires in four months and I want to get whatever I can fixed before the expiration date. The glue between the folds seems to be failing causing what you see here. Would this be considered a "wear" item and not covered under warranty? Thanks for your responses.

If it expires in 4 months, I'd take it in for just about anything and everything. There's no harm in taking it into the dealer to see what they will/will not cover. (-=

you dont touch a sunroof blind NO they wont make you pay for this repair, wear and tear is things like seats, floor mats, and paint, not mechanical parts that are not designed to wear like a sunroof blind

Actually no, technically its limited, but they pretty much will find a way if its under factory warranty.

I got mine replaced under extended warranty though, so im sure it will be covered for you

No problem. I have ordered from them quite a few times. Prices are good, and they ship fairly quickly.
