2017 Hybrid Reserve 79k Just noticed 2 small paint separations on either sail panels close to where the back glass joins the body. It's hard to capture, but does have a touch of red (oxidation). Purchased about a month ago used with 2k less than it has now and a past untold by carfax. The paint reads stored inside at night, but with about 40k stacked by the second owner in the last year, it's recently spent quality time outside and now has no reliable covered park. The size, shape, and location of the cracks - to me - seems formed from torsional stress. I am biased as I'm focused on profiling the previous owner using the minimal wear I can spot as clues. Few signs of minor collisions, uncleared trip computer and sport drive mode selected at purchase makes me think they liked how well it corners as much as I do. This spot is normally subject to torsional stress as outlined in this daunting research paper but it is not model specific: https://www.scielo.br/pdf/lajss/v12n10/1679-7825-lajss-12-10-01972.pdf I spent maybe 10 minutes skimming just to confirm I'm not far from the pulse, but other possible causes aren't less probable. Still would like to know if anyone else notices this on their Z.

Hey, there! Sorry I have nothing of use to you at the moment, but check this out! I am based in San Diego as well and just picked up a 2017 with 70k miles on it this week and plan to update my profile with problems that will come up over time. Obviously (but not for granted), there have been no issues within the first 1k miles of joy rides this week. I work in collision repair so I am quick to spot this car has had a rear bumper replacement but nothing I'm worried about. Some quirks I've noticed so far: the rear view mirror on the windshield rattles a tad until manipulated (rotated around), right front window auto-up isn't working but down is, and the door panels rattle in a few areas with semi-strong bass songs..... but I side with the car on this one, it's probably a designed deterrent to top 40. Later I'll post more details on my nit-picks and solutions when found ?
