Go ahead and take them out, it's just evidence of sloppy work. Somebody in the trim department at the plant was having a rough day! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

If your car was black I would think that those were pictures of my car. I have the exact same thing, but I can't recall when they first appeared.

I don't have them on my car. If they don't come out easily without damaging the trim, I would take it to the dealer. It might be that your trim may have to be replaced. I'm not so sure I would go cutting anything with a sharp object next to your paint. The dealer might have all the tools to remove the trim and fix the problem without damaging your paint.

Yep - I agree. If it does not come off with little effort, take it to the dealer... That looks like something that should have been caught before the car ever got to you.
