Defect in rear exterior doors paint chipping
#12
dj200, I've never seen those checkered things before. Those would certainly help but the area I'm seeing most of it is below that. I'm starting to wonder if the models that don't have this high gloss black finish (Dynamic-X and Model X's) aren't seeing it as much because the matte black plastic isn't chipping. Regardless, I'm seeing it on my actual door where those checkered things are so I'm definitely interested in purchasing.

a different question. Is the defender made of aluminum? If so, does it mean that any paint chips would not lead to corrosion?
While paint chips don't lead to rust, aluminum does still corrode when attacked by salt, acidified water, and other substances (it forms a powdery white residue of aluminum oxide and the part will eventually become weaker).
It's much less of an issue than with a steel body panel, but should still be addressed
