Fender Rubbing and Taking Off Paint? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Noticed this a few months ago and it's only on the driver side as far as I can tell. Looks like when driving the fender must move slightly and eventually rubs the paint off? Haven't shown it to a dealer or anything yet but I'm wondering if I'm the only one. Fender has never been moved or adjusted... I'm not as concerned about the paint looking strange since it's not extremely noticeable (although I definitely notice it all the time nobody else has pointed it out) but I am concerned that it could eventually rust or get worse considering there is no protection anymore. Anyone had something similar taken care of under warranty? Less than 13,000 miles on the car and I've had it about 15 months, purchased brand new.

Warranty should cover it as long as you can prove the car has not been in an accident.
