Default Peeling Roof Trim

Bummer. The paint on the driver's side of the piece of trim that runs along the roof of my coupe is bubbling and peeling. No idea why. The other side looks fine and the car is always garaged. So far about 5 inches of paint has come off and I see many other bubbles.

Mine did the same, sounds like you hava an auction car. The car shipping cover for the roof stayed on the car too long and the tack tape weakened the paint. The sticky tape contacts the roof right on the trim strips. My dealer replaced mine under warrantee. They come painted and are just held on with double back tape. Good Luck.

Yeah, it was a lease before I bought it, but I'm sure the dealer got it at an auction. I have the extended warranty. Wonder if that covers this?

Either way it's cheaper to buy a new one then to get it painted and easy to replace. I went into the dealer and told them I wanted it replaced, they change both sides and charged it to Chrysler.

Awesome. Thanks for the input. I will take the same approach.
