Potential Car Theft Attempt?

[Raikkonen]

Hey guys,

As I was coming home from the gym today I noticed some odd damage on the plastic inbetween the window and door.

It's recent, within a week as it's very noticable I'm just curious if it was someone attemping to break into my car or something less sinister.

It's along the whole strip in random spots, I don't see how it could be natural damage?

Thx in advance.

Thats a weird spot to be braking into an r33. There are ways but i rather not post them on a public forum. If it was a theft attempt they are amateurs

Have seen that on heaps of cars, I've assumed it was the rubber getting brittle and breaking as it gets older.

I hope that's the case

They don't have Kea parrots in Vic do they?

My 32 waleather strips have done the same over about a year.

I believe it to be a common characteristic of the cars.

It looks as lot like when my missus car was attacked by birds, just like Terry suggested.

Sif' nibble weatherstrip; there's nothing else in nature that tastes better?

My 32 GTR has similar damage, and having tapped an undamaged bit with a screwdriver, created the same thing. Id say its just the rubber getting brittle.
