Default paint bubbles

I HAVE THE DREADED BUBBLES!!!!!!!! I did a search on this topic and read through many respoces and many different outcomes on peoples roof getting fixed. I called Chevrolet with the TSB number and she called the service manager at the local dealershit, and he said to bring it down and they would take a look at it. WELL, to say the least I am very PISSED, the guy didnt evenmake it to my car godd and the first fords out of his mouth were "That roof has had work done to it" Bull SHI#@ , my car has never had any body work done to it, so his next excuse was that it had overspray all over it!!! I had afew words with him before storming out mad as a hornet. My question is, has anyone in the Atlanta area had any luck with dealers fixing their roofs? I am even willing to pay a deductable up to $300. Why do the dealerships act like all the money comes out of their pockets? Does anyone has some sort of documentation i can use to help get this matter resolved? I have a 2001 SS w/22k miles, garage kept everyday, never seen a drop of rain. Thanks for any help!!!!!!!

Mine look like pimples that are ready to be popped, then when the car is left out in the sun during work, go back out to the car and water or clear is drizzling out of it.

Here's a shot of the bubbles.

Scan through the photo album for more pic's.

GM wouldn't cover my repair even having the TSB & talking with people in high places at GM, so I paid for the work myself.
