I just noticed on my HCHII, with 16000 miles and 15mo old that the rubber seal of the driver door, car side, is so soft that it's already broken.

Just from the rubbing as I get inside the car the rubber has completely worn and cracked and will need to be replaced. I checked some of the other doors and some of them already have signs of wear (I use the car for commuting and rarely have any passengers)

The rubber is so soft that you can easily pinch it with your nails...

Anyone else notice the problem? I will take the car to the dealer next week to see if it's covered under warranty.

I noticed my driver side stripping (mounted to the car, not the door) is doing the same thing. I've got about 24,000 miles and have had the car about 11 months.

I've got about a 6" long area where this stuff has been ruined. I will have the dealership check it when I take it in for the recall in a week or two.

 

Same here. I thought we must've slammed the seatbelt in the door. Dealer ordered a new one under warranty. Hope it's tougher.
