Default Quarter Panel Window Problems

I have recently noticed that the darker outer edges of the quarter panel windows of my 08 gt appear to be peeling from the inside. Is the dark part or the window some sort of factory tint? I have not noticed any leaking as of yet but this really bothers me and I will be paying the stealership a visit. Does anyone else have this problem or have any idea of the cause? I only have 16k miles on my car so I am assuming the factory warranty will cover this. Pics are below.

That's very interesting. It does appear that the laminate on the window is peeling off. Warranty issue.

I would scream warranty you should have 3yr 36k, I'm wondering if it was a bad run and rear glass will be next. Have them replace the sides and note the problem that the rear window could be next my .02
p.s. you could be going to fast to cause delam

Well I took my stang to the dealer this morning and they are going to replace the quarter panel windows for free under the factory warranty.

I'll be the first to suggest you get a pair of SHR louvers instead! You might be able to get a free install, if you don't need new glass windows.
