Spider cracking to b-pillar trim
Last year I discovered cracking from inside of the exterior piano black trim which runs up the driver and passenger doors. The cracking looks like fine spider webs under the surface of the trim. My local OPC kindly replaced it but now it has appeared on all trims. I originally thought it was a stone chip but it seems to be caused by temperature change or age and over time raises to the surface, where it is eventually detectable when running your finger over it. I wondered if anyone else has experienced the same.
If you search the forum, you'll find cracking on the B pillar has come up before. I don't think previous cases were as bad as yours.

One of mine cracked but with a straight vertical line - it was replaced by an OPC under warranty.
If not in warranty I would go for a DIY replacement using this useful video:
Just noticed that one of my B-pillars has these spider cracks. I have a few days left on my original warranty so I shall be getting in touch with the local dealership tomorrow. Hope they give me no trouble!

I've got what look like water stain marks on mine, a relatively recent occurence. Tried cleaning it off, including with polish, but they are stubbornly resistant. Any ideas?

Not noticed any spider-web cracks or stains yet, on the B pillars of my 2019 Macan S, but the OPC are still waiting for instructions from Porsche UK as to what to do about cracks in my two front door handles. I've been waiting to hear since March - that's 7 months now ! Another six months and my warranty will expire. Here's my video of the first (driver's door handle) crack in March:
Those door handles are definitely repeat offenders. I have seen previous post here or on the US site or Rennlist.
Seemed to affect those with keyless entry more as I recall though I can't work out why that should be the case as they must all have the same door handles?
Maybe they get used more with owners of keyless entry checking the door is actually locked!?!?!?!
