Plastic Trim warping in the cold

[AirmanPika]

A few days ago when it was in the teens here I noticed that the black trim on the trunk lid that surrounds the tail light was slightly warped downward almost 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch at both edges. Now that its warmed up a bit its not as bad but it is there still. Anyone else noticed this?

Yes! Mine got so bad that it caused the bumper to warp as well. I took it in to the Dodge dealership near where I live, and they stated that it was a known issue. Normally they just have to replace the black plastic trim, but in my case they are going to have to replace the bumper as well. I would get this taken care of as soon as possible if I were so that you do not have to face the same fate with your bumper.

I would still like to see a PIC of the area...does not matter if its showing the warp or not. Just something to keep an eye out for.

That isn't good at all and should never happen. I hope this is isolated but thanks for bringing to our attention. Something to keep an eye on for sure.

Thanks,
James

We are currently sitting at 20 below (ridiculous) and no warping.
