I noticed these marks on my front Jeep doors the other day after I did a good wash. They are definitely caused by that bead rubbing the area. It is not the weatherstripping. The paint had me been worn all the way off, so I used some polish to get rid of the scuffs. I cut some small strips of 3m clear film and put them in the spots. I didn’t do anything to the bead on the door. We’ll see how it holds up.
I took mine to the dealer to have the repair quoted, but never heard anything back. If I was afraid of it rusting I would definitely be more on top of this, but for now its not a huge priority. But while I was at the dealer he said that because it was evident that the doors had been removed (Not sure what his proof was, but yes, they have been) that it wouldn't be covered. That's just straight up BS, the doors don't change alignment every time you take them off and put them back on. I'd argue that the tolerance of the door position is extremely tight. This is definitely a build issue, I just haven't gotten around to chasing down my dealer to take my Jeep for a week so they can fix it.
Thx for response. I kinda figured that unless there is a TSB or something of the sort each dealership will kinda say and do what they want. I had a bad experience with my 2013 Rubicon with them repainting some spots and making it worse with poor blending ect. Really wanted to avoid any dealer paint work at all costs but this is pretty frustrating that at 250 miles its wearing through the paint. Even would be skeptical about them making adjustments to the hinges and on my JK Rubi they gouged the paint while doing so.
Taking the doors off CANNOT change where the door closes too. That position is controlled by the hinges, and the door latch.
Completely agree. I argued with them pretty good about it. I’ve decided to never go back to that dealer as they have always been a pain. They are just the most convenient to my workplace.
