Problems with chrome door cups

Anyone else having problems with the chrome door cups? I thought mine were just dirty, but it turns out that they're actually bubbling up and looking like hell. I'll be calling the dealership to see if they can be replaced, and keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyone else having problems like this?

Damn. I have had my car for 11 months now and no issues so far. How long have you had your car?

Is it an aftermarket part or OEM?

Me neither, and I think it looks better without it. I have the chrome door handles though, but with the door chrome cups as well it would be just too much chrome.

I've had the car since last May. I think I had the door cups installed in June. They are bought from the dealership. I'll let ya'll know when I find out from the dealership what will happen. Since I got the car (and cups) in the US and am now in Germany, things may get a little tricky. We'll see....

Please do, like to know if this is common. My biggest worry was misture build up behind the cups or around the "seams" but like I said so far so good.

My door handles are the same as the body color (Navy Blue) so these doorcups look nice IMO
