As for the discoloration. That is what I've got on mine, but yours is MUCH further along. mines only a little at the edges. I have used mine a little (MI weather).... Out of curiosity is your a premium trim or not. Just curious as to whether your back window is tinted dark.
Yeah, mine's the premium trim level with color-matched bumpers 'n all that jazz.

Incidentally, the rust colored window defroster paths have looked that way since I received the vehicle, or at least as early as I can recall noticing it. (I don't open the lift gate window a lot; usually loading enough stuff that I just open the lift gate entirely.) Makes me wish I'd taken more interior shots of my vehicle when it was fresh off the showroom floor. It'd just been bothering me lately because I know about my missing rubber bumper back there and started fretting that water was somehow getting in, though I've never noticed any water after my car washes.

At least I know it's highly unlikely it's water damage or something...just some "character" that comes with age. Hehe... As for the black I'm doing a full interior detailing and exterior wash, clay bar and wax of my vehicle in the next week or so (when rain leaves our forecast) and I'll play with that black/white area and see if it's just muck that comes off.
