Question about Weather stripping and Warrenty

So my 2008 GD3 has about 13000 on it and the weather stripping on the drivers door sill is ripping and starting to come off near the little a-pillar window.

No leaks or anything yet, but when driving faster than 40 mph, there is a very good breeze

Would this be covered under new car warranty? Also I have hondacare too.

I just wanted to ask here first cuz my nearest honda dealer is about 45 minutes away!

Thanks guys!

Yes this should be covered by your warranty. Any material failure within the time frame of your warranty should be made good by your dealership. My front bumper started peeling paint and they fixed the entire bumper for free which would have cost over $300.00 to repair.

Let us know what they tell you.

Yep I agree, that should be a warranty item. Technically that's a leak already. Weather strips should last a pretty long time and their rubber should still be supple on a relatively new car like yours.
