Is this common for the mach e or is is just me? I snag 3-4 of these on 9 out 10 trips to the carwash. At this point I've managed to nail down one that never gets snagged, so I try to go there whenever I can. They get buried in so deep I need a pair of pliers to get them out.

You have bad luck my friend. I’ve never had this happen. Had ours over 2 years and it’s washed almost weekly.

Mine was delivered this way. I always assumed it was something to do with manufacturing, but now I think it happened in a pre-delivery wash and the dealer cut it off. I just left it there.

I have this happen about every third time through the car wash.

Another good reason I stick to 2-bucket hand washes.

Happened to me early on and the blue fuzz is still in there -- mind sharing what pliers you used, I'm scared to get in there with what I have on hand, worried that I'll scratch it.

Thee not carwashes, they're car scratchers;). I know not everyone can. But, if you can, skip the car scratchers.

I would never visit a carwash again that did that to my car.

It has happened to me at Cousin's Car Wash, Ulmerton Rd., Largo, FL. It was a real bugger to get out, but when I did, I was surprised how long it was.

I've had too many things cracked or snapped off at car washes, usually OEM items, that I've given up on car washes for at least 3 years! My hand washes are always far superior anyway and I get my steps in! Haha
