Blackline Taillight Problem

karbosshack · 03-14-2006, 06:58 PM

Does anybody else that has blackline taillights have some of that "black" tape that outlines the lights....kind of scratched off? On the tape, the line kind of disintegrates for like 4 inches and then starts back up, it gives a look like the car is scratched. Is this something I can call Morristown BMW and complain about?

So what do you guys think?

its normal. it looks like the seal did not touch the plastic piece. if it leaks then i would complain.

karbosshack · 03-14-2006, 08:19 PM

It looks like shit though.

longtran · 03-14-2006, 08:32 PM

cant really tell. if it bothers you that much go complain. is not gonna hurt.

never noticed this subtle defect since i got the blacklines for the last 2 months. still like the uniqueness and the refreshing look of the blacklines.

I see, it looks like the seal didn't touch 100%, but I bet most are like that.. I am supposed to have mine today!!!!!!! I will see what mine looks like.

I'm just hoping it doesn't leak. I'm gonna take my car in for a wash in a few days (seeing as it doesn't like to rain in AZ) and make sure that water doesn't get in there.

Looks to me that they are on wrong (seal caught or something ), or a piece of the edge has broken off
Should take 5 min to take off and check
