Door cracks in paint!!!

Kochaloch · 09-07-2014, 10:45 PM

Has anyone else noticed cracking in their paint above the area you push to open the door? I have them on both doors, they look like some sort of stress cracks.

I use the loop inside the doorjam to shut my doors. That way I never touch the paint.

No I haven't noticed any peeling paint. Just a ton of orange peel.

I shut via the loop as well, and the odd thing is that it's worse on the passenger side which is rarely used.

This is a warranty claim.

The door is aligned by a guy pushing down here. I was at the factory and I saw that guy putting his whole weight right there to get the door to align with the rear fender. This has been reported earlier, so GM should know about this.

Thanks for the loop tip, I hate getting smudges around the handle area.
