Cause of Burn Damage to Top of "Strut Cover" Trim Piece?
Hi, in my my 1983 280ZX 2+2, (non-turbo), both trim pieces in the back that seem maybe to cover the struts (?) have burn damage. What would cause this? When I get "new" trim pieces, what do I need to do inside the trim or under the car or ??? to prevent this?

a PO was doing something odd at some point

If I had to guess, I'd say someone was using a propane torch to loosen stuck bolts . . . although that's an odd place for that to happen. Maybe on a strut bar that used to be installed?

Maybe the PO's PO had a fire extinguisher there, and instead of chemicals, there was propane inside...
Juss get a new one? If there is a 280 out at the yard with a clean trim piece i'll grab it for you.
We must find our strut trim saboteur, this is a very confusing case of damage, my dear watson.

Lolzie Kay, I'll see if I can't find one out there in a few days, no real guarantees, they usually post their 280s on craigslist, and there are none on there =(
