My arm rest on the driver door is warping. It is starting to curl upwards. It appears as if someting is under it, but there isn't. Also the weather-stripping on my rear hatch is working it's way out (where the glass meets the metal). Has anyone else experienced these problems? I think the weather-stripping may be because of my sub? My sunroof whistles again (been fixed once), and my hatch rattles. I also hear a rattle from inside of the far left air vent. I have only had the car for 5 months. I know some of these problems have been explained, but I think that I brought up a couple of new ones (to my knowledge).

 

def sound sliek tooooo much base lol j/k Warranty my friend!

 

YAH! I noticed the armrest thing too, only mine is on both doors! I am waiting a little while to see if they get worse before taking it back to the stealership!

 

ah ha! I thought i was all alone on this one. how long have you had yours?

 

same problem on 2 FM tCs!

I cannot say that I have noticed this, though with ths heat we have had down here....

 

anyone have any pics of their warped armrests? i'm curious to see what it looks like.

 

i have it to just noticed it yesterday while fixing my car in the parking lot (pos electrical issues why couldnt my engine just expled that would have been so mutch easier to diagnose lol)


it seems it gets all wavy maybe its becosue my arm is never on it lol but hmmmm i dont know why its happening but when i get time you better belive its going back to the dealer

 

Actually the armrest pads are the worst part of the tC's interior IMO. They are made of a rubbery plastic material that feels and looks awful. I am thinking of covering them with black leather uphoulstery to match my perforated leather seats sometime in the future.

nope, no warping here, but then again i really don't lean on those arm rests.. but no warping or anything..

 

i don't really use mine either. I'm not sure what's causing it. I think my car has gremlins.

 

dunno whats the cause but I have the same thing with the armrest and rear hatch

 

I just noticed that my passenger side arm rest is starting to warp. Does anyone know if you can just replace the armrest or does the whole door panel need to be replaced?

 

No warping on mine. But I don't use it very much.
