Anyone know how to fix this? It seems to be towards the rear of the pass window towards the top where the glass does not seal against that area.

One other thing that was fixed inadvertenly was a T-Top rattle .........it seems the location of the T-Top had something to do with my rattle which I was never able to fix on my own and the "new" location was better.
BTW.........my car was out of warranty when I had the work done. My dealer was pretty co-operative about the whole thing. If your dealer refuses to do the work, try another dealer and keep on doing it until you find one that says yes.

I got no where with dealers. A woman at the cust. serv. # got GM to fix mine under the 6 year corrosion warranty. I've said this earlier in the thread but am repeating for anyone who might not have read this whole thing.

I took mine to Lawrence Marshall Pontiac in Houston and they just re-painted it. I even brought the TSB in with me. The rep said that the bubbles on my roof didn't look like the problem in the TSB. Oh well, at least I have it documented that they repaired bubbles in the roof paint before my warranty was up. My car is always garage kept so it took about 2 years for the bubbles to show up. If they show up again I'll have record that it was repaired prior to my warranty expiring. Maybe that will help.
I just can't believe that they would so blatently avoid doing warranty work. I had paint bubbling/cracking in a straight line in the back and front of the roof, exactly like the TSB showed, and they just avoided any talk about the TSB and simply said they'd repaint it.
Do dealers loose money on warranty repairs?

Man the headaches we'd all save if they would have just done it right the first time....seems that a little more homework on GM's part would have helped.

Had my roof replaced at no cost to me under this TSB. At the time, the car had about 41Kmiles on it. My dealership didn't give me any hassels at all, I told them about the TSB, showed them the bubbles and within a day, they told me they would cover it.
As a couple of folks have mentiened,,,, be carefull of the weather stripping to window seal. After mine was finished, the tech apparently didn't take the time to check if the seal leaked. Welp, they got it finished up bout the time that first big hurricane of the season hit. It sat at the dealership a couple of days before I had a chance to pick it up. Man,,,, it rained cats and dogs for that couple of days. The rain poured in, no bull crap,,, the driver's floor was actually standing with about an 1/2 inch of water. The passenger's was wet also but not near as bad. I took it back, they fixed the weather strip seal and did their best to clean it up.
Check the weather stripping seal for sure once you pick it up,,,, go by a high pressure car wash and check it out.
