Peeling grill

[Daks]

The grill is peeling. What's the best way to handle this, it's annoying me. I guess picking up a new one?

You're brilliant. I have bumper to bumper extended warranty through CPO. Booya. Done. Disregard the thread.

You're welcome. Wonder why it is peeling. Bad paint?

 

[Daks]

I'm not sure - I wonder if anyone else has this?

Probably just wasn’t conditioned/protected/maintained by the previous owner.

New ones are so cheap just slap a new one on there and you’ll get the fresh off the lot plastic shine

Dang. Looks like uv damage?

Mine is a 2017 and has been like this for a while. Quite a few others I've seen as well. Probably wasn't clear coated too well from the factory. Some red vinyl will solve it or buy a new grille for $100 at the dealer

Paint them or use plastidip for an easier solution.
