For mine, I feel like it's just the sun and weather working on it. The rubber separated from the back of the metal since in those areas GM designed them with no actual mechanical fastener to hold the rubber in place, but rather some form of adhesive only. As the constant weather changes take effect on the adhesive, the sun dries out the rubber and 'curls' it up.
I think it's the high speed dryers that blow them loose. I have the problem on the top and bottom of the chrome strip. Any suggestions? JB

engineering defect along with a few others on this gen, such as the layer of paint about 2/3" of an inch that wears off from the wind on the upper part of the body if you don't see it yet, you will eventually.... thinner metal, thinner paint, noise from the body in the back (lack of sound insulation), buttons and switches fail early, suspension fails earlier, heater hoses weep. and to fix some stuff a crap ton of trim has to come off. but they still roll a to b....
the T2's are even worse I have seen some straight tore up already
