I was doing a nice thorough QD on Clara today and found a chip right through the clear bra right next to the corner of the upper grille. It didn't take a chip clean out of anything, but there is a little cut in the film that peels up and an odd little piece of paint that peels right up with it. When I gently sort of peel it back with my fingernail, I can see gray (presumably primer) right underneath it. It's really not very big (maybe 1/8th inch long and peels up maybe 2-3mm) but it makes me sad anyway.
Boo.
But the good news is, I called Clear Armor, who did the installation and they have a 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty against damage through the film due to rocks, bugs, etc.
They will take a look on Wednesday morning to see what needs to be done. He said they will likely just remove the film, touch up the area, and put new film on. When I told him I had stripes on top of the film (good call, BTW, guys
), he said no problem, they would cover the cost of new stripes. They even offered to install them, if I want (I did the existing ones myself). I must say, this service and warranty is worth the difference I paid them versus some random guy with some film and a truck
So provided that all goes as planned on Wednesday, at least it should be a good outcome. But I am sad, Clara has her first real owie that can't just be handled with a little Scratch-X.
