I have read in threads that are several years old (2012 and prior) that Elinchrom softboxes used to have a tendency for the interior silver lining peeling. Has that been corrected by Elinchrom with current products?

I have not had any problems with my new models, but my older ones I've had problems with.

It's a known problem, and some are covered by recalls and warranty, mine is peeling, and the shop I bought it from has offered to replace it at no cost.

About 5 years old I think.
It started peeling not long after I got it, but it's never affected it, so I've never bothered to take it back.
