I'm having the same problem with the weatherstrip that goes from the top around the back door. The dealer has replaced both sides twice, and I dont have much confidence he has solved the problem yet. also a 2009 model

 

took car to dealer today,and yes the door sill rubbers are curled &not normal. the odered all new sill rubbers &will call when in.also looks like a body shop type deal as they sure look chasis mounted to me.time will tell.

nope I think they are mounted on pins, doesn't take very long to change them.

 

All I know is that they are just fine in my 2007 model. My guess would be that there is a different supplier than mine had, and I wouldn't want something bad replaced with the same bad part, but that's me maybe.

 

according to my dealer, they changed suppliers after the bankruptcy and they are all coming in garbage now. This does not mean I'm letting them off the warranty hook.

 

When you wash your car do you wipe down the rubber seals with silicone? If not get a can of silicone spray, spray it into a rag and wipe down all the rubber seals. Be careful not to get it on the paint or it will collect dirt.
