I posted a few pics in some FB groups and I'm surprised to see I'm not the only one having problems. I'm filing a warranty claim because the rear trim finish is literally flaking off. There's no impact or damage underneath so this would indicate poor adhesion from the factory. Could be a composite issue rejecting adhesion I suppose but any body else dealing with this on their trim pieces?
Just so we're clear, my entire car is wrapped in Xpel PPF. The only reason I didn't have them do the rear trim is because I wanted this fixed by Lotus first. I honestly think if someone got these pieces PPF'd, in 10 years or so when they pull it off, they're probably gonna take the clear coat off their trim with it. You heard it here first...
Here's another car having the same issue. The guy said the PPF installer simply had a piece tough the trim and when they lifted it off, it pulled a piece of the clear with it...yikes.
