None with over 9,000 miles on the car.

I have the Ralliart mudflaps, though. I wonder how many people who were making fun of them are now reconsidering them.

On some cars, the door may appear to be perfect, but it might not be. As for getting it fixed, it seems like most people are having an easy time doing so. If not, print off this thread or the longer original one and take it to the dealer.

I grabbed my #3 Craftsman philips head screw driver last night and adjusted the striker as suggested by alfredob1. It took about 5 minutes to adjust the door to my liking. I made three passes at it until I was satisfied.

I have a couple chips on the drivers side. I'm going to check the passenger side and adjust that if necessary. I'm also going to apply some of the "clear bra" material as soon as I get my hands on some.

Yeah, I did actually. I have made the bumper easier to install for the newbie or novice. I split the bumper into two pieces.. Top and Bottom pieces now. I also kept the other version for people that more and cleaner protection.
