Front camera cover peeling

Front camera cover is peeling. Anyone know why? Is it covered by warranty? What causes it? It’s like it has water bubbles in it.

Had mine replaced under warranty. Was peeling from the center chrome slats.

I did get a clear bra wrap on the front. I wonder if that’s it. Good catch. I don’t know why they clear wrapped the lens cover. But they might have.

The chrome bars did that on my car. New part was around 300 dollars and took me less than an hour to remove grill and replace. You can find my post on it by searching me screen name.
