Has anyone had any issues with their Fbodies and their roofs with the paint? I have a 00 WS6 and have had the roof repainted twice now and keep getting all those spots that are breaking open. Don't know if its something in the factory plastic or paint? Thanks

This is a VERY common problem that ails pretty much all f bodies after 98 or so.

You cant fix it. You have to replace the entire panel. Re painting will only fix it for a short while and have you keep wasting money.

Panels are not cheap, but its the only way.

Nope - they do not make them anymore.

Classic Industries makes them per order, at 1100 bucks each.
