Envoy Ext Window Molding Discolored

[Raczar]

Anyone having similar problem with the Triplets ?

 

Truck is 11 months old. After 2 months, I noticed that the rubber molding around side windows

is discolored - not solid black. Molding around rear quarter panel windows is OK.

 

Dealer replaced molding, then 2-3 months later it's discolored again.

 

Truck has been through commercial touchless car washes and handwashed using Blue Coral car wash liquid.  Same as with other vehicles I've owned over the years. Haven't used Armorall or similar products on molding.  I have tested small section to see if it hides the discoloration, but it didn't.  

 

Thanks in advance for any insight or advice...

I've seen this on the trim used on both the short and long wheel base models.  I noticed that the trim on mine was showing signs of that when I took delivery in April.  I use a product called "Black Again" on the black rubber and vinyl trim on my Porsche, so I applied a coat to the rubber moldings on my new Envoy XL, along with a coat of Liquid Glass on the paint.  I did it in April, and the trim has looked like new since.  So far, so good.

 

Black Again is made by Rhino Industries.  It's a white cream that you rub onto/into the trim with a rag.  No silicones.  It's been magic for me.
