Default Cosmetic black trim - covered under CPO?


Anyone have insight or opinion on if this would be covered under CPO? These are starting to come "un-snapped" on both the driver and passenger sides. They almost always pop up after any sort of trip at highway speeds.

I don't know what this is called to call the dealership and ask them via phone if it would be covered (or research online) so if anyone knows the name of these 2 pieces please advise. Thanks!

Read your CPO should cover material and workmanship. Don't ask the dealer if covered tell them it's covered.

You're not going to have issue with Lexus's flagship vehicle on warranty stuff IMHO, but I felt the same way when I had to bring my 15 CPO in for something. They just called and said they did it (buzzing front seat cupholder divider), and asked about something else they found and fixed as well. I would guess if you had a brand new roof rack with signs of amateur installation (rounded nuts and bolts and scratched roof), maybe, but they're going to cover that, just leave it sticking up when you drop it off.

Side windshield moldings. Was the ws replaced? If so, the installer should have spent the time massaging the molding 'til he had the curve perfectly fitting the curve at the top. If needed, a small dab of silicon sealer will hold it in place with the help of gaffers' tape. Given the current curve not even close to fitting, I'd doubt it would work.

It should be covered by the ws' so-called installer.
