X2, Here is a tip. Pull any screw that looks a little rusted, fill the hole with sealant and reinsert a new screw. Install new vinyl screw cover. Also, place the roll in sun to make it more pliable.

What can be done to help prevent this? Is there a treatment that can be used?

screw cover
Look carefully at the trim before you buy, some is made in China and is very thin. It will dry and crack very quickly. I will just keep the roll around and replace the trim as it dries out. As it is not really rubber, I don't know that there is anything you can treat it with to protect it.

My 2017 282XBXL did the same thing pulling it back from a long July 4th trip.
I wounding if they got a bad batch? My 2017 282QBXL did the same thing last weekend. I have not even had a year yet. Is it even worth trying to do warranty on it? Is there one brand that is better than the other for UV?

The black is usually a little better at standing up to UV better than white, but it gains more heat so it's probably a wash.
You can spray a little 303 protectant on it and that will add some UV protection to it.

how close are you to the dealer? If its a short drive, I'd let them replace it (push them to replace it all)
If its a long drive, its cheap enough you can just do it yourself.
