Cab rear spoiler paint bubbling

[gt tangerine]

While I was cleaning the roof of my truck, I noticed the paint on the rear spoiler Brake light housing bubbling up and peeling in some places. Yay me. Looks like a visit to the dealer is in order.

Put a patch of duct tape over it, and you won't see it anymore... :-)

Looks like something got on there (like sap) and caused the damage.

Warranty.  Make them fix it. They

cost too much to just let I go.

Ahh but was it a paint defect.. or did someone simply blow their nose on your truck..

Zano it out.   

 

That’s what some wise guy on the Corvette Forum would say. 

 

Seriously, that’s a bummer.  Maybe the dealer will replace the spoiler?  If it blisters there, it could blister anywhere. 

 

Good luck, Man.

Hopefully these are not like the late 80s and early 90s c/k trucks and their paint peeling...

Just know if they have to remove the rear spoiler instead of repainting it, they have to pull the inside roof headliner down so be careful of damage to the headliner.

It creases real easy, and greasy tech finger prints are hard to get out.

Hello, I know this topic is a little old but I have a new 2020 that I have had for a week and 300 miles on it and I just went to clean it for the first time and I'm having the same problem. 

 

What was your outcome?

I just left it be, more have surfaced and the top on the cab spoiler is a mess. hopefully when I get a new truck next year it won’t have this issue

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Sorry to hear out yours. 

 

 Since it is so new, I'm going to work on getting GMC to do a repaint on that piece, or see if they'll give me an extension on the warranty in writing if it deteriorates any further. I would rather keep the original than have a repaint. I'll touch up the small spot that is there for now.

I am sure you already know, but do not try to touch it up until the dealership has confirmed the problem.

 

And then, they may need you just leave it so they can go through the proper channels.

Concur. Let the dealership note, document, and resolve the problem. Most likely it'll be repainting the panel. From what I can gather by inspecting my own, it's potentially possible to repaint it without removal. Just depends on how good the paint shop is that is used to do so. And ensuring they don't get overspray on everything else.

 

I totally agree that if they need to remove the spoiler, that you inspect the headliner BEFORE you take it in and AFTER (document with pictures) if they do grease up your headliner you have some ammunition. Not that it guarantees they'll do anything about it, but if you document stuff they mess up, it's a bit harder for them to flat out deny it. Or, if they're like the handful of dealerships, they'll admit when they break stuff.

First let's start off saying that my experience was very poor at the first dealer I visited as they flat out refused to provide any service since I did not purchase the truck from them. They were friendly at first but as soon as they found out I did not buy from they they just gave me my keys back and threw me out the door. I would not recommend anyone visit King O'Rourke Buick GMC Cadillac in Smithtown, NY. Any GMC dealer should be able to resolve warranty issues no matter where the vehicle was purchased. They were my closest dealer and more than likely would have seen the majority of my service work but they were shortsighted and will see nothing now. Anyway, I am waiting to hear back from my selling dealer about the paint issue for now and I also contacted [email protected] about the issue.
