Did you try shaking the spray can longer? Got to be in the surface....or a heat lamp too close?

It has to do with the glue that GM used for the panel, they put out a bulletin about the problem..............

It may be the adhesive leaching through the plastic per the bulletin mentioned in Mustang5.Ohater's post, above.

I had to have my roof replaced. Pic's are at the following link.

If it's not the adhesive problem, try epoxy primer prior to the finish coat.
