That's a pretty common problem with the Equinox/Terrain on the front and rear fascias. Not enough gap to the adjoining panel and the itching chips the paint. Camaros have the exact same problem. The fix is to repaint the fascia and then when reinstalling, adjust the gap so the panels are not touching. I've seen several Equinox's with chipping on the rear bumper fascia.

The fascia engineers need to comprehend the purpose of consistent body gaps. In the last few years they keep putting out vehicles with the front and rear fascias touching the fenders. Ray Charles could have done a better job in tuning those gaps.
