to my knowledge all gm vehicles have a paint warranty of 100k or 5 years, I would look into or call someone else!

yeah thats what i thought too. local dealer denied it and the GM customer service dept. also said that it wasnt covered! But the dealer offered me a quote to paint it and from then on it would be covered for lifetime!! I had no idea that these local painters were so much better than the factory!!LOL aint that a crock???? I have bought SEVERAL new trucks,yukons,etc and never had this issue. Im at a loss....

Pretty sure that is a perforation warranty for corrosion. I remember back in the late 80's and early 90's a lot of GM and Chrysler cars had paint that would peel right off the primer. Some of that was covered under GM warranty because it happened on so many cars. I think they are going to say no until a bunch of people have the same issue.

Did you buy the truck new? Have the roof checked to see if it's been painted. You would be surprised how many NEW vehicles are repaired with ''TRANSPORT DAMAGE'' .. I know this first hand, I handle four GM dealerships.I just check two years back in my records ,I have had no roof delamination issues with GM trucks.

as a ford dealer employee and a bodyshop owner , ford and gm paint warranty is 3 years 36000 miles , corrision protection is 100.000 k or 5 years . so if the paint rust off thats covered , but peeling is not .

All the cars I repair under warranty or transport damage are documented by me and the dealer . Here's the rub , they ony have to disclose the damage if its $1500.00 dollars or more . Now thats here in Illinois it may be different in your state.. If any car comes in for paint problems at any of my dealerships they can tell me exactly if and when a repair was done. Just because it was transport damage (if this is what it is ,and I would bet the house it is ) it should still be warratied by the dealers body shop. Trust me they know exactly what happened to your truck if they were the selling dealer..
