my 2009 buick enclave started to show some discoloration on rear chrome strip. the dealer said to wait until spring and then wash /wax it . when i took back this sumer it was even worst. no amount of wax /cleaners would remove it. the dealer said its not covered by warranty as it appers to be Mag-cloride that the state using during the winter! i called the department area buick person and they said if the dealer would not honor warranty then thats it. i use dthe question that Buick doesn’t make cars to survive the winters? My cad does not have this problem. no other remedy or further discussion would be offered -sorry consumer ! ---

I’m not surprised they refused to cover it under warranty. They’ll consider something like this to be “normal wear and tear”, even though I don’t agree. Have you searched the internet for a replacement trim part? ---
