No, they just don't want to replace it since it costs a ton of money. Tell them you want a new wing or want it recleared. Other people have had this problem so you aren't the only one. Do a SEARCH.

I just got my new wing installed 2 days ago. No charge whatsoever. Just tell them that you know people that have had the same problem. My dealer told me they already had a few replaced.

How many miles do you guys have?
What type of weather do you guys drive in?
Boston has some harsh weathers, I been through 1 winter and had my Evo for 1 year. Ice cold winters to Burning hot summers.
Yes I do drive my Evo through the winter, I'll get a beater soon.
Mine is in perfect condition.
Anyway to prevent this from happening?

I believe our manuals instruct us to wax it with UV protectant wax. So waxing it doesn't cause it to peel. Check in your manual and see if it says that. My car's far away right now or I would.

I work at a body shop and I would say if you are going to have it recleared don't let the dealership do it because they will not do a good job cause they will not be making any money off it. I would bring it somewhere and make them pay for the repairs.
