Toyota Yaris Clearcoat Peeling? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*kimona* · 05-27-2016, 12:17 AM

My 2007 was garaged since new, and was in immaculate condition; not a scratch or ding anywhere! But, in 2014 the clear coat began to delaminate on the mirrors followed by the roof in early 2015. When I sold my beloved car in Dec. 2015, the mirrors were completely delaminated and the roof was about 50%. The door handles were also beginning to peel, as well some peeling around the corners of the hatch. The poor car looked like shite!

I had approached the local Toyota dealership when the clear coat problem began in 2014, and continued to complain for about 18 months. I pursued the problem for several months with a regional Toyota rep., but I had no satisfaction whatsoever.

The cost to repaint the car was prohibitive, and I just couldn't continue to drive it looking like that... so I sold it.
