    So i just happened to notice today that on the inside of my door, right at the end i have like 3 small SOFT paint bubbles.... Anyone else have this issue? i mean the truck is only a few months old.. i never noticed this but i never herd of it either so i never bothered to look. What should i do before it gets worse should i pop the bubble and sand it and get some touch up paint and cover it up before it starts to rust or something.

    Heres some pictures

    If the paint is compromised, that should be covered under your new vehicle warranty.

    It looks like the paint, he just has a black truck. Weather seal is seen in second pic, away from bubble at edge of the door. I don't remember a small seal at the edge of the door right there

    I have some little "hard" bubbles on the door sill, but I can see mine are clear coated over and don't seem to be an issue.

    EDIT: MGM colored truck, not black

    That is a good point but I would really like to know if it will rust. If I push it in it comes back so you may be right

    Checked my MGM 2013. Same deal. A few of them here and there, but they are not open bubbles, but under the surface of that material. Painted over. It is some kind of rubberous (not a word) material.

    I am not concerned.
