Your lucky they did not fight you. To be honest if the clear coat fails, then its the paint, down to the primer and then panel and they do have the rust/rot/corrosion guarrentee which basically is a preventative measure at this point. Your car looks also VERY clean so that would have helped as well.

I had my best bud and his 2001 Trans Am back about 2003/4 had bad factory paint come through, the issue is the clear coat was fine but underneath was bad prep and the dealer argued that it could have been the owner as much as it was the factory and ultimately the car became a race car and that panel had the attena filled in so it was repainted but kinda sucked when one 1/4 panel looked like you had scuffed it with a scotch brite pad.

Oh the dealer fought me every step of the way. Every time I brought my car into the service drive to complain, they would give me the run around... "Have you had your car detailed recently?"..."That's what happens to black cars, you need to park it in the garage"... Blah, blah, blah...

The panels have been repainted already. They were done early 2010.

That really does bite. I know how it goes. Been involved in the biz for years in one form or another. They need to make sure it was not owner error and frankly where its parked has nothing to do with it. Not everyone can be blessed with temp controlled garages, and put into a sealed bag everytime its parked. Hell I have seen paint fail for garage queens.

..Ive had my entire car repainted EXCEPT my driver side door which I noticed clear coat failure on last week.... Gotta love that....

HI. Just want to tell you that I was able to stop cc failure in its tracks on my 2004 accord by keeping my car waxed. I didn't wash it for a year (personal reasons) and bad cc failure showed up in a few spots just like yours. I now wax my car religiously at least once a month, and hey I live not too far from you in Chino Hills so you know how harsh the sun is out here, and the cc failure has not progressed. There are a few spots where it was just starting and they are still at the starting stage. I also was able to minimize the spots visually by removing the damaged cc with rubbing compound and then polishing compound and it made a huge visual improvement. All that can be seen is a faint ring where the edge of the cc meets the exposed paint. I am thinking of posting a how-to on it sometime. I will post pics too soon.
