Default Bubbling A-pillar cover

I have a 2006 ebony interior, I saw a couple posts about this problem and didn't think I had it until.... I went on vacation in july and let the car sit in the sun, and sure enuf the A-pillar's {etheir side of the windshield} had bubble's in them, like a bad decal job, they go away when they cool down, got home told the dealer and they were replaced, GM has a service bullletin on this, sorry don't know the #, as summer's around the corner, this is something to look for

Yeah, I've had this 2 times and I don't think the replacements are any better. Also the exterior window weatherstripping rubber discolors and looks mottled.

Can't tell on left side.
