Front Bumper Issue - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have an issue with the front bumper and wondering if anyone else is seeing similar? The issue is the drivers side top section (Header Panel) has a sharp edge vs. what should be a nice rounded radius, hence paint is probably thin and adhesion lousy so paint on the sharp edge is coming off. Showed my local Chevrolet dealership and they have been given the green light from the district GM representative to radius and re-paint the entire bumper. I was glad at no time was there any talk about touch up and only discussed a total re-paint of the bumper from the start. I deal with this dealership a lot and they have always been excellent to work with. Anyone else having issues?

Hopefully they make it right. Looks like a mold release line. I am interested in the outcome once resolved.

Bump this back to the top. Mine has no issue there...

I'm surprised more people haven't replied.
