Roof probelms
the two stripes goin down the sides of the roof of my car are very dull and faded, i was thinkin its because its lower than the rest of the roof and if the previous owner waxed it or when the dealer waxed it they may have missed the two stripes. this pic u cant really see it that good but u get the idea. Anyone else's car like this?

I'm quite sure they're plastic, and the pieces that keep the roof panel secure. The only way to make them as bright as the rest of the car would be to re-paint them I presume, or make some metal ones, though they would be harder to remove if you needed to take your roof panel off (if it gets dented or the like). Mine is also faded, I have a VR that's less than a year old.

There is a noticeable color difference between the roof and these 2 strips on brand new cars on the dealer's lot. I pointed it out to the sales person after delivery and was informed it's because of the material the paint is applied to.

yeah. I took a look at them yesterday and they're definitely rubber of some sort. It's crazy, you can dig your fingernail into them and it mushes down, but the paint still stays fine. How???
