Hi,

While washing the car, I noticed that the body side moldings installed by the dealer are poorly attached… lots of debris are getting stuck between the moldings and the body.
They agreed to replace them at my appointment next summer (I live far away, I need to take a ferry with the car and stay two nights there), but I’m wondering what the clear coat wear will look like in a year, and whether I can trust them not to damage the paint when replacing them…
Last month, during my annual inspection, they scratched the fuel tank cover and took the liberty of doing a very poor polishing job…

Some examples
