What is this film?

What is this film that is ahead of the rear tire but behind the doors, on the bottom bumpy paint section? It’s starting to come off already and am wondering if it was supposed to be taken off at delivery or if it’s some paint film protection of some sort. If it’s the second, is there a replacement?

 

It's a paint protection film.

 

What he said. . And shouldnt be coming off

 

Is it peeling, or how is it coming off? Photos?

 

Supposed to protect from rock chips before and after the rear tires

 

Assuming you mean this. Mine has not held up great. This is the passenger side after 35k miles.

 

Yes that is what I mean. I can’t go take any photos right now but with the dark gray exterior, it’s becoming whiteish like air or bubble are getting behind the edges. Can or will the dealer replace under warranty?

 

My 2010 SR5 came with an Owner's Manual that told me about that protective coating.

 

Ask you dealer.

If they say no. Take it to a different dealer.
