Let me know what your guy says. I will no doubt have to replace mine, I am going to talk to ******* and see if he will warantee it if I buy from him.

Yeah Mine is worse than you can see in the pictures especially along the outer edge just hard to take a picture of it.
No response from the seller yet.

Mine is doing the same thing, also the taillight trim is doing the same thing. Cheap plastic parts I guess! I think I will get stainless next time.

Gonna have to check mine out and see if it is doing that...hope not. I put a coat of wax over it though when I wax the truck, so hopefully that helped. And, I got mine through Jason so I am sure he would cover me.

I usually have em warranty me the products or if theyre not warrantied they sell em to me way cheaper than price online

and dont get me wrong I have had problems before with SOME ebayers but for the most part if I actually care for what Im buying like this tailgate trim...they helped me out

If it was something expensive I would have, or if it was something I thought that would break in a few weeks/months, it never occurred to me that this thing would bubble.

Oh well, Lesson learned.

How many things can you buy for your truck for $60.... a tank of gas, if you lucky? One silverstar light bulb, not two, you dont have enough for that, but one....

Checked mine this morning and no bubbling. I think the waxing of it might have helped.

I just washed my truck up after a particularly nasty trip to the western slope of the Rocky's in Colorado. Snowpacked and salt and chemicals on the roads for 1,000 miles. No bubbles here. I travel 3,000 miles a month in Utah, Idaho and Colorado, needless to say see some nasty salt and magneisum. Maybe they had a bad batch of chrome plate for you guys.
