Paint rubbing off top of tailgate (where it meets rubber at bottom of rear window) - HELP!

[AnonCanadian]

Hi guys,

So the paint is rubbing off the top of my tailgate (where the tailgate meets the rubber at the bottom of the rear window). I posted on this earlier, and it's progressed - from corners originally to all the way down, and now through the primer to bare metal in some spaces.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any hope warranty will cover it?

Showed it to dealer at 13,000KM and was told they could submit a warranty claim but would wait to see if it got worse (well.. it did!) and now we have 40,000KM. Around 15 months since we bought it originally.

If they do fix it, anything I could do to prevent it coming back? Body shop when I first had it looked at said that they could probably just repair that top line and not have to repaint the entire tailgate. IT's on the inside of the tailgate (not direct top) if that matters.

Any help or guidance is appreciated!

The rubbing off / primer showing is now all the way left to right for the tailgate, and on one corner of it where it was the worst it is now "shiny" showing underneath the primer.

After it’s painted, use a clear door edge guard, you can find it on Amazon. I use it on the rocker panels under the front doors, keeps the paint from getting scratched etc.
