Rocker panel paint
Anybody know if the dealership will cover repainting my rocker panels if the paint is chipping off? It's supposed to be the thickest paint on the car and its flaking off like crazy...

Re: Rocker panel paint
No they won't repaint. They'll only repair if there is perforation (rust through) conditions. Likely they'll say you are driving in extreme conditions and should invest in some factory splash guards (mud flaps).
What you may want to do is invest in some of the 3M clear protectant sheet. It is made from a polymer that will resist chipping and other major damage. Lots of luck.

Re: Rocker panel paint

Re: Rocker panel paint
Well, I went to the dealership this morning. Turns out it is the factory paint, not respray. AND turns out that it is covered under warranty.
 So, with all this bad luck I've had with the car, it's starting to turn for the better!!!!!... Marc-Antoine 2009 Astra XE 5-door, Twilight Blue. "I have four rules in the Astra. No food, no drink, no smoking, and no vomit. Got it? Now... let me just put my coffee in the cup holder..."
