General Shrinking Decal?

[Quboffin]

I've just noticed one of the black sticky-back plastic decals between the slopey side windows has shrunk by about 10mm (5 top and bottom). It's the one on the OS door. The adjoining one on the fixed window is fine, as are the two on the NS. You can see the glue mark where it used to be and it looks odd now they don't line up. Anyone else noticed this on their Qubo? I've no idea what's caused it to shrink but I'll see if a replacement is available.

Do you park that side in direct sunlight?

Hail Fellow Qubist, My Qubo is 2009 reg, and on mine both sides have not only shrunk, but have also split (as a result of shrinking ). Both sides look as though the black area has been 'keyed'.
Will look out for any follow up to your search for replacments................
Cheers Qube O

I would get them removed and get a body shop to spay paint the area

Hi Luigi, no in fact the opposite. The side that's shrunk is always parked in the shade but oddly only one of the two adjacent decals is affected. I'll enquire at MD but I don't hold out much hope. Your idea to remove them and over-paint seems the way forward. I have a local guy who I use for paint repairs, I'll have a word and post the outcome.
