Default Fixing peeling decals

A very small section of my 35th Anniversary stripes is cracked and starting to peel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Anyone have any suggestions for fixing it before it gets worse? TIA

Get the dealer to fix it. Its way too soon to have any paint/decal issues.

Heh, actually they're not factory <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I noticed a few other damaged spots just this evening. I think I'm just going to have to purchase a whole new set or eventually it'll look like crap <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

If your car is a true 35th LE then SLP put the stripes on and GM will warranty them. Also if you order them from GM they all come seperate. Right lower cover, right upper cover, right hood, right trunk, right spoiler, etc..etc..etc...

They also start out at about $75.00 each and go up from there.

SLP? if you didnt do them, then get who did do them to fix it. There should be some kind of warranty. If you did do them then you can try the clear nail polish idea mentioned by Kwik SS or replace that section as mentioned by Tracey. There may even be a mterials waranty from whever they were purchased, which would allow the section to be replaced free of cost.

Without bashing people, I will just say that I have never really been especially satisfied with the purchase of the stripes so I don't think I'll be requesting a new set <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
How much would you think they would cost to be painted on, like Mark suggested?
