Took the car in For Warrantee Work

Rear window trim paint peeling. They said they would replace the window but not the tint. Rang Tint-a-Car to ask how much and they said about $80 for rear window Formula 1. Rang Mitsu and they said maybe they could do it for that price.

OTher stuff to follow out of time see edit

yeah mines been doing it since I got it as well (i'm presuming you mean the black paint that covers the black strip on the oustide of the rear window?) have never asked about it under warranty though, mine is tinted as well though :/

Why do they need to replace the glass? :confused:

Rear windows can be removed without breakage.

Front windscreens almost always break when removed, so I could understand if that was the case.

They should be able to replace the trim without replacing the glass. :confused:

they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes mate. They have to fix the problem, and that includes replacing your window tinting, because its their fault which necesetates the tinting being replaced. Do you have a RACQ or RACV or something in the northern territory? if so contact them, they will help you out with this kinda thing. Otherwise just keep at the dealership, threaten to go to the top, etc

they should pay for window tint i know toyota and ford do with warranty work

so if the paint get off from the black rubber around the windows its covered by the warranty???

Cool

My mums car had the same thing apparently now i have the TL window and seals in there and they do look different to the ones i had before as these are all rubber, not plastic.

Tom

any pics - not sure what your talking about?

and did you take it to mitsu in the city on the stuart highway/? (its not quite in the city, but you know what i mean :P)

did you see the gold TL magna they got there - ewwwww.. YUCKY GOLD.. my gold is so much better :P

stupid mitsu colours!! lol

Mitsi do have a fix for the rear glass problem for Magnas. As far as I know the tint being an aftermarket fit does not have to be covered under warranty, the same as an aftermarket engine part wouldn't be. I've had my glass replaced in my TJ and my dealer paid for the tint as I bought the car from them and had all my services done there, they where more than happy to look after me !!

Nope mines a Tl and its doing it. Had it when I bought it.

I've had mine replaced recently - new glass and all (can still see the marks from the suction cup thingys). I had put off getting my window tinted for that very reason.

Not much help am I...

Actually, the window tint is not part of the car from factory. I would doubt very much that they would be held by any form of law that they would need to replace it. If they do, it would simply be from a customer service point of view.

Still worth a try though.

any pics - cos i dont think i have this problem :confused:

I think they are talking about the black plastic trim which surrounds the rear window is peeling off.

I too, have this problem where it's peeling at the top of the window edge and thought it was caused by the high pressure car wash or hoses at Carlovers. Therefore, I didn't think something like this would be covered under warranty.

Could someone elaborate as to why the glass needs replacing? I thought it would be a simple case of removing the peeling trim and then whacking some new trim in there. :confused:

Its the shiny coating on the rubber seal that is pealing off. The rubber that holds the window in itself is ok. It just looks like ****, coz some areas are nice and shiny, and others are mat.

never thought this might be covered by warranty, dosent it come under norlmal wear and tear???

If you your paint gets faded by parking your car in sun everyday is it covered by warranty???

Hey greenmatt does ur window surround look like the one in the pics i have.

Cause they told me these were the latest window seals and window, and i dont exactly remember what the old ones looked like but they definately didnt look like the new ones we have.

if what you guys are talking about is the rubber in the pic - mine is fine.. then again, i got all new rubbers when i got my paint done.. so errr.. yer.. i dont have a problem!

The ones in the pic arent the ones with paint peeling,
the pics show the new seals around the window which looks like one complete seal.

Tom

The rubber seal actually comes as part of the glass on magna rear windows so you cant just replace the seal. Yes the rear window seals were modified just at the start of TL i think to a softer compound rubber.

I didn't think interior and exterior trim stuff was covered under warranty?

I had my rear window replaced and yep, the Mitsubishi dealer sent me a cheque to cover the replacement cost of the tint. Very good if you ask me.

Funny thing is the rear window squeaks even more (the modified rear window) then it did before and it also has the special tape around it so it's off again this week and a Mitsubishi engineer is coming out to investigate!

To be honest, i have never had a car with such low kms with so many rattles and squeaks as my Ralliart.. And you guys say Mitusubishi's are high quality???? Think again.... It has been in 4 times for rear window squeaks (one time they had it for a week!) and it's still not fixed. And this is 1 problem of many! Time to sell i think and buy a Ford XR6T. :D

should have bought the XR6T in the first place...good luck with the sale!

Yes, i considered it immensly but the $$$ got the better of me.. The XR6T sure is a better quality car and i do wish i could turn back the clock. But for now my car has a permanent car park at Mitsubishi dealers across the state who are scratching their heads... Now the big boys (Mitsubishi Engineers) have been sumoned. Some say maybe a broken or faulty spot weld somewhere causing too much chassis flex which means an entire interior strip.

I can tell this is gonna get ****en ugly... :angry:
