Would you have this fixed? Wait??

Man that sucks! I`ve seen this on other cars many times. I think it has to do with them tightening down the piece that fits into the area and it "bruises" the paint if you will. I see it most often around the rear taillight cutouts and some door handles.

I`d have it fixed but strongly express your concern on the repair not being noticeable.

Yep. I`m seeing on the vette boards this is a common problem as well as other areas you mentioned.
 
So went to the dealer today...

Went to service dept first to see "my service writer", (gave her some detail supplies last time). Showed her the problems, she showed me where it was starting at top of vents as well. She then got service manager to show him, he noted it and directed us to body shop.

She would only speak to body shop manager. Showed him the problems and made a point of telling him how particular I am...

He said the correct way of doing it was to remove both panels, then vents, prep panels, pain, let cure, then replace the vents, then replace the panels on car. He said the car won`t be any where near paint booth to avoid overspray.

He told me He wanted it for at least 5 days to make sure it`s done properly.

He wrote in big letters across work order DO NOT WASH :D

He had to order consumables and clips etc and is pretty well booked...... So appointment made for Sept 12.

Wow, at least it seems like they are going to take of you well! That`s good news
 
Sounds like they are trying to do it the right way and taking full responsibility. I hate it when car dealers want to put the blame on the customer. Looks like you are going to get your car right (hopefully the first time).��
 
I`d still put some type of sign inside the car (same style as a handicap mirror hung tag) that clearly states "DO NOT WASH,NO TIRE SHINE" on there. Remember the valet/porter guys may not have easy access to work Order and may still give it a quick run through car wash out of habit since it only takes a few minutes to destroy..i mean...run the car through the tunnel. Not everyone working at a Dealership gets paid to really care or even think before acting and with large staff and a fast pace, communication gets easily lost on a daily basis.

i added "no tire shine" because when i got my last car, i specifically said multiple times " do not wash it" and they still sprayed their tire shine on there.
