    No that is not common or correct. You should bring this to the dealers attention immediately and this should be resolved.

    It seems common on the F12 door cards. Have the dealer send it for repair!

    Been commonplace since the 348 in 1989.

    They'll get it fixed some day. .

    Cool interior colors BTW.

    Ive seen 348 s and 328s original interiors look as good as new , other than the carpet and seat bolsters. My passenger seat has hardly been used and it looks great and it has never been re covered. Ferraris quality sucks, its that simple.

    I'm sorry to see this, definitely take advantage of your warranty and get that fixed! As far as frequency? Let's just say Ferrari is far from Toyotaesue consistency, YMMV!

    My 2014 F12 has this on the passenger door around the door handle. One thing to be happening on a 9 year old car and another thing on a brand new one. They should certainly get it fixed.

    The 296 review from Carwows video which came out yesterday also had some of this and even had a not level “296GTB” badge by the glovebox. Quality is apparently a thing of the past.

    I think Ferrari wasn't using enough glue. My PF-M has the exact same issue in the same place on the door. A new panel has been ordered.

    And so much for QC, the car was delivered to me new with the bubble.
