Unknown or Other · reported Oct 29, 2026
The trunk cover has raw, unsealed fiberglass on the underside that cuts into your hands. You can see it glittering. The dealership checked spare parts for me and all of the ones available have this same problem so until a recall is issued there's no other resolution.
