The trim piece that is warped. is the piece behind the middle row window on the passenger side. Also the piece on the side of the rear window passenger side is warped and actually bubbled from the heat. It has been about 60 degrees F this week (Winter) so again it was supposed the sunlight reflecting off something shiny. I have to take it in, in about a week for the Honda rep. to see it.
Update from Feb 3, 2013: I had talked to my friends, that have the same model 2011 Odyssey, and they had taking their van in for warped trim pieces. they leave in another town. They said they will sell it.
Honda has used some extremely low quality material when they started making the trim pieces around the windows out of a somewhat flexible plastic. This plastic has a low melting point, and it appears that sunlight REFLECTED off any glass or shiny metal can cause the plastic to warp, melt or bubble. This is ridiculous when you can make a child's plastic toy out of a better plastic and it can take higher heat temperatures.
