Front Doors rubbing on front fenders .

[Brokebackbronco]

Just wanted some feedback ... my front fender are rubbing the paint off the my doors . I saw this today ,
only had it a week or so . Noticed it turning white on the drivers side . When i checked the passenger side i saw a the same problem . It appears the dealer or the factory already had put touch up paint on the affected area .Just wondering what the fix is ,,, and how to go about handling this ?

Dealer's going to be your best bet. They will have to make whatever adjustments and repaint.

repaint ? this is unfortunate .

Odds are if it's turning white, it has worked through the color coat. Without that color coat, there really isn't anything to buff or polish. You could always put more touch up paint on it, but I believe you would get better results from having the area re-sprayed.

Can you take a picture of the whole door and fender showing the gap?

Are you sure it’s not a fault in the paint process of the doors? Maybe they spotted it in QC and fixed it but yours got through? Because for BOTH sides to be rubbing on the same unit would be quite unlikely, it seems.

I only say this because a rubbing issue would be the sort of problem that would be widespread, unless it too, was caught early in production.

Can you confirm actual contact?
