Hey, any of you 5th gen owners with bra over the bumber been experiencing temporary paint spotting under the bra?

I'm getting light pale spots or rather blotches under the bra but it goes away when I take it off and after a couple of days. I think moisture is getting under the paint. The dealer told me they've seen it when they take the plastic off the car when it arrives at the dealer. I think it makes sense. It only happens on the plastic bumpers. I don't leave the bra on for too long at a time. Usually I'll take it off once in a while to clean, every couple of weeks, like two at most or after it rains or before if possible.

Also has anyone with power seats been having rear tilt problems of "not working"? The dealer replaced the switch, but it's broken again. Just wondering, they are getting another call

thanks

The spotting is most likely moisture as you mentioned. You should take the bra off when it is raining and remove it often to make sure dirt and other stuff doesnt get caught under there and scratch the paint. Try removing it more often and using it only when driving and in dry conditions. As for the power seat...no problems here...
