HST bodykit rubbing

I have just washed the fl2 and noticed that on the bottom of the drivers door where the hst skirt is it has started rubbing through the paint. It rubs when the door is fully open on to the other part of the kit which is on the front wing? Has this happened to any one elses? Would this cone under a warranty issue? Please post your opinions!!

Since the kit is stuck on, I guess the front bit was attached slightly wrong. Phil

Anything fitted to your FL2 from new is covered under the 3 year warranty however if, like me, the bodykit was fitted as an accessory then you only have 1 years warranty PROVIDED that it was fitted by a LR dealer within 1 month of purchasing the vehicle. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Had the exact same problem with mine - I fitted the kit myself, so may expalin why Whistle , but on the last service, i mentioned it to the service manager, who said they would take a look and make any adjustments. - When i picked up the car, the panels no longer rubbed - not sure what they did, but whatever it was it worked!
I just then touched up with a stone chip paint kit - can't even see it.

Thanks for the replies!!! As I didn't buy mine brand new I brought it from a main dealer. I think I'll mention it to them when it next goes in. I'm also gonna mention the b posts where the seat belt has rubbed it away. Think I read on hear you can get this done under warranty to

If your dealer refuses to sort try another. My sports grille came loose and one dealer refused to do the '10 minute' job unless it was booked in and I paid their silly labour charges whilst another sorted it out there and then without any hassle or cost to me!
