Default OMFG how could this happen?!
Well I couldn't stand the strip of trim/molding down the middle of my door anymore. So I decided to take the heat gun and remove it....BOTH F'in sides got the paint peeled off! It was full of tiny little bubbles in wha looks like the factory paint underneath and it just pulled strips of paint off! The car only has 52k on it! Would this be something covered under a corrosion warranty?! It's like the paint was not even adhered to the surface properly! Now what do I do? It looks horrible!

haha thats priceless.

OP, I'm not sure exactly how much paint came off but either way you are SOL if you think a warranty will cover it. Get some touch up paint and go to town on it.
