| I have noticed bubbling in the paint around the edges of the roof and sail panel. i was told this is caused by a defective glue used by gm which causes the paint to delaminate and corrode. i tried to contact two dealerships and chevrolet customer service but was denied each time. i believe this problem should be covered under the 6yr/100,000 mile paint warranty. *tr | |||
