What’s All this then??

2017 Autograph II in the rear corner by bottom of the rear garage door.. cracking paint?

Well that’s not very good is it! Is that the only place it’s a problem? Is it paint or is it in the fibre glass I wonder.

 

[old-mo]

Normally caused by flexing....

Is it Alloy or Fibreglass.?

 

[movan]

It seems a slightly different colour to the other wbites around it. Has it been replaced?

Alloy I believe.. it’s going in for it’s hab check in May so I’ll have them look at it.

Yup. I've checked the other side of the van. Its fine.

If Alloy, I would think more to do with paint mixture or sprayed in a draught than stress cracks...

Has it has been painted in that area? looks like a hard edge at the bottom against the trim and possibly under the door frame, if so what old-mo says would/could apply.

Slightly bigger picture would be nice to getter better perspective of the area & extent to which the problem has occurred.
Its surely not made of Bone China is it?
Hope your dealer takes some pictures and Bailey fix this for you FOC, fingers crossed.

Just have a look under the van and check there isn’t any water getting in behind that trim . It looks like it’s been sealed but may have a small gap as it’s slightly green .

Hi, I would think it should be covered by the warranty as it is obviously not damaged, had a look at mine (same age and model) and looks ok at the moment but if I did see something like that I would assume it would be a warranty claim

 

[Paul Wilkins]

Update for you.
Been described by the dealer as 'Crazing'.

Warranty claim has been filed.. should have it fixed soon.
