Default Windshield trim chipping under coverage?

My trim started cracking and I told the stealership about this but they told me some BS about how it happens and how its not covered under the warranty and some other crap, so my question to you all, Is the trim around the windshield covered under the bumper to bumper warranty? Have you had to have this replaced?

A lot of people say that it is under coverage of warranty. I would go back and tell them to fix it

I Had the same problem on my 08, and they agreed to replace it under the bumper to bumper warranty, and BTW the new ones look with a better quality material.

I was going to wait for my oil change and have them do it all at once, but I decided to go ahead and schedule it for this Saturday. Hopefully they do the dash issue and this all in one shot without keeping my car too long.

I went to the dealer and they said it wasn't covered.

these are excluded under warranty.. =\ whats the point of having it.

Body and Interior:
bumpers, carpet, chrome, dash cover and pad, door trim, handles, fabric, glass (including windshield), headliner, hinges, interior and exterior trim and moldings, cupholders, ashtrays, covers and vents, lightbulbs, nuts, bolts, clips, retainers and fasteners, paint, rust and corrosion damage, seat covers, shiny metals, weather stripping.

Crown Lexus in Ontario California. I also asked them about my headlight cause the reflector of the signal popped out and they wouldn't fix that for me either.

Meangene did you let them know about the windshield or are you taking it in for the oil change and then going to mention it?

The reason I ask is because the place I took mine to had to send pictures to corporate and get permission first....they needed to get the code number from them to get reimbursed before they would do the work. And I think corporate is closed on Saturdays. Plus they may have to order the part. It was just a fluke that they had the part already in stock at the place I took it. They normally don't.
