Default Texas Speed and Performance Lid Hitting Hood...

I have one of the first clear smoked lids from texas speed and performance and had been noticing in the center of the lid some scuff marks and just figured it was something from the air hitting it and doing something to the plastic until today when a friend asked me what tha tmark was on the lid....turns out it is making contact with the hood and is really scuffing up the surface of the lid! Anyone else have this problem? I'm going to call TSP tues - I'm sure it's just a mold problem from being one of the first ones released but still it shouldn't be happening.

Good Luck.
