Default Paint Problems

The car's had a bad case of the orange peel since I bought it. Now, I notice that the paint is starting to bubble in spots. Luckily, the car is still under warranty. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if you had any problems getting the dealer to fix it. TIA for your responses.

Orange peel has nothing to do with your paint starting bubble, a couple of questions. Where is the paint starting to bubble and did you buy the car new?

Do all of you have T-tops, I do remember someone having a paint problem on the panel just behind the t-tops. My guess is some of the panels or paint had some contamination, check with your dealer to see if there's a TSB about this problem. Good luck guys.

Mine is doing it too, right behind the passenger side window on the roof panel. The only fix for this is a new composite roof skin.
