Exterior trim panels between the driver side door and rear passenger door are melted at the top 4 inches. The dealer would not repair under warranty, and stated Mazda will not replace it since trim is not covered. They told me to contact Mazda corporate to see if they would sell the parts at cost. Dealer price would be $200 for just the two plastic panels and me installing them at home. This was probably caused by a reflection from a building window onto the plastic trim.
