I just noticed on the roof of my 05 EB Explorer the paint is peeling off in sheets. I have 2 areas in the channels on the roof peeling. I showed it to my dealer and he said not covered. Any sugestions?

Paint, all the way down to bare metal.
 












Paint problems

Have you painted your rig yet? Are you sure the E-coat is gone under the primer? You'll definetly want to remove any loose paint or almost loose paint or the condition will return. Most likely the paint film was really thin and allowed water (which gets trapped here when parking flat) to penetrate to the primer and loosen the base coat. Even though it is clear coated it is not sealed 100% even if at the proper films. Your repair will depend on the preperation. Good luck.
