It actually is from sunscreen. Certain brands of sunscreen will make the film bubble up. Only fix is to replace those trim pieces, and switch brands of sunscreen, or have those trim pieces painted, as I did.

It seems that the surface layer had separated in a couple of small spots from the main body of the flap. So now I have a couple of ugly peeled spots.

I then noticed yesterday that the same is happening on the surface layer next to the softtop up-down switch which as a 1-2mm blister developing where the surface material is lifting off the plastic underneath.

I am wondering if I have had something on my elbow and finger that has reacted with the surface layer (maybe sunblock/sunscreen??)

Being new to Porsches, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. My worry is what else is ready to start blistering
