Rear window trim fade

Hi could anyone tell me if they have experience this problem with the trim around the top of the rear window. This has gone very cloudy and would have thought they maybe a recall on this trim
Please any info please share
Thanks col

Looks more like a colour change than clouding

Recall matters or BMW goodwill remedies are best addressed to a dealer i'd have thought?

Haven’t seen anything like that on BMWs before - at least not in the modern paint era. Definitely worth showing it to a BMW Bodyshop for a strip and repaint. It looks to my untrained eye like the clear coat has failed under UV light, something it isn’t supposed to do!

I wonder if at some point an undeclared repair has happened?

Does anyone know the part number for this item as I’m struggling on real own

Take the car to a dealer or at least a bodyshop for a professional opinion

I saw this on my 3 Series Touring ED. There was a piano black piece of trim in the fog light grill and mine was milky after 3 1/2 years. Really noticed it when I had to replace the other fog light grill after hitting a Pheasant ! If your car is in warranty I think it would be a reasonable claim.
