    Anyone have the leading edge of their fuel door missing paint? Looks like it was air-blasted!

    Yeah, I've seen that issue, but it think it was a primer issue from the Mexico plant. Supposedly a green primer, rather than the gray on mine, which was built in Texas. At least I hope that's the case!

    Consider yourself lucky if only your fuel door is affected. Others have it much worse. My 2020 is still flawless.

    Unfortunately, that’s just the start. You will see more chips very recently. Window edges, hood and so on. Look closely.

    Probably not your issue, but you might check to make sure it’s not rubbing when you open and close it. Just in case. Good luck.
