Window Panel Problems Anyone?

[Hellcatcfp]

Been seeing these posts on the Facebook Hellcat Forums, mainly Charger Hellcats. Not my Hellcat, anyone have this problem?





Lots of people complaining they've had them replaced more than once? What the heck...

That would piss me off. Any challengers affected?

Wow...never seen that...almost like the panel split on top. That's cheap stuff right there!!

Chargers and 300s are having problems with interior door panels and console's. No mention of Challengers.

Wonder if it happens from sitting in the sun and the plastic warping. Mine rarely sits outside baking like that.

I was thinking the same thing....sitting in the sun a lot. But if you look closely at it, looks to me like its not warped but instead it split along the top. The rest is still clipped inside the door.

Seems like cheap plastic that doesn't hold up to the sun...not what you want in a car interior...

Wasn't gonna' be that guy. Though I DID think it. . There's just no excuse for that. I'd be royally pissed. Then; you gonna keep brand loyalty with quality like that? Come-on, really. That's Hugo sh*& right there.

Last summer I detailed a customers 17 Charger. It's a 6 cylinder car. Nothing special. I noticed this on his passenger side rear dear panel. I thought maybe he did something accidentally like slide something through the rear window and it damaged the panel. But I guess it's happening to other cars as well. I'd be livid.

That would drive me nuts! No way I could deal with that!😡

My wife has a 2017 Charger Hellcat and that has never happened to hers. Granted she never lets it sit in the sun for long though, its garage kept except when she needs to go somewhere.

 

[Hellcatcfp]

Same for me. Garage kept and Ceramic tint. Shouldn't be happening either way though.

I bought a new 2013 Charger R/T that is not garage kept and no problem with the door panels after 138,000 miles. Must be some QC problems but so far I’ve been lucky with both my Chargers

Had that issue on my 15 HC Charger.

Driver door panel and both center console bolsters.

@DodgeCares opened a case and they were replaced under warranty.

Only on the passengers side? Idiots sitting out the window, or leaning in on the POS plastic. Or endless amounts of sweat and BO from folks cruising with the windows down to let everyone hear their beats. Or let's pry the door skin off while we're high to install those awesome Monkey-Shit made in China after market speakers dog! Still, could be a symbol of the really don't give a **** attitude given to some of the non-mechanical systems of this car.

Is it the window or the plastic panel?? I had mentioned concerning the winder in past post, but not the panel. The window drops to keep the cabin from being pressure trapped in which blows the rear windshield seal out. That is why the window cracks down by opening the door. I have that happen on a Z28. Pressure blew the rear wind shield seal out.Great for pressure cabin but not for easls. Just wondering if the 2 had a similar affect.

No problem with my Challenger , it's also garage kept.

 

[Hickster]

Mine is garage kept, 2018, and no problems, challenger.

 

[ACMAVRO]

Challenger is garage kept but when it’s out, the tints are so dark, I don’t think anything will ever get through to cause any damage, especially like that

I'm not good at statistics, but I think its twice as likely to happen on a Charger than a Challenger
