I have never seen that happen before. Only had problems with the chrome peeling off the trim. I may have a panel around here you can rob for another one.

Almost looks like a heat related issue?

I just bought a set this year,... I hope they don't do that.

Here is the only picture I have of mine, taken a few years ago. The truck DID sit in my driveway with them on for about two years, but I live in a woods and the sun was rarely on the truck. I guess it could have gotten hot though.

I put them in a year or two before it went for it's restoration. I think they were like that when I put them in and I thought they'd smooth out. They were stored in my basement which is heated and air conditioned.

BUT . . . anyway, they still look like this !!!
