I've already had the entire rear passenger repainted, cleared and paintless dent repair on the rear hatch on a 2016 TEP with less than 6K on the odo due to 2 separate unknown parking-lot adventures. I feel your pain! :yield:
Just returned from my 10K service and the dealer advised that the stickiness is not normal and ordered a new set of pillar covers for mine under warranty. Just a wild guess here but I imagine the new ones will do the same....only time will tell.
On a side note I will tell you that wiping them...
I had mine tinted the week I got it with ceramic on all windows, vent Windows during the day with vent shades and use a sun screen on the front glass so not sure the issue is heat. I have my 10k service in the next few weeks so we'll see what the dealer has to say.
My 2016 TEP bought March of this year has the sticky pillars as well. Never noticed it until brought up hear. Guess I need to stop reading these things....
I stream 100% of the time, about 1 1/2 hours per day, via Bluetooth to an IPhone 6 on Pandora and haven't had any issues so far. I bought the TEP new back in Febuary of this year and never use FM or Sirus/XM. I will try to pull my firmware version today and post.
My 2016 TEP already needs new glass and was quoted 750.00 for the glass and new seals + 150.00 for the install by my local Yota dealer. Still debating wether or not to just go with Safelite at less than half the cost.
Think there's a thread here somewhere on paintless dent repair....On a side note, I'm glad everyone was alright and be thankful those tress didn't hit your house.
