Anyone else have an issue with the paint on the roof cracking? I imagine it is only a matter of time before it starts flaking off...

Mine looks like a giant jig saw puzzle, but not flaking, as well as the tops of the dualy fenders.

In 1988 Ford had a huge problem with paint peeling, they even repainted my F150 for FREE, but I haven't heard anything about newer vehicles. I would take it to the dealer and see what Ferd will do about it. Don't be to nice!!

The outermost deperession on either side of the roof has hair line cracks with some flaking on my truck. It seems like there is some type of filling in that outermost depression, an epoxy of some type?

a co-worker had a major body rot issue behind the weather stripping on the top of the door frames of his '99

Mine has the same problem in the outer "tracks" on the roof above the windows. I have been monitoring them and no corrosion or rust is starting. So I am hoping that it is just the clearcoat or something. I'm not over concerned at this point and just use a little extra wax up there when I detail the truck.

I actually am thinking about taping off the top of mine and bed lining it. What do you all think?

My truck has the original paint and I have little cracks all over the hood also. I was also wondering *** the deal is with that. I would imagine that it will just peel off eventually.

Little jigsaw cracks all over the hood and never noticed till CSIPSD waxed the hood for me.

On my truck the clear or whatever ford uses is peeling on top of one of my doors it's not really noticeable but I know it is there.

For me, that problem was caused by a leaking seal under one of the roof clearance lights.

The seam sealer in that joint expands & contracts more than the steel. that why the paint cracks there...It should not be leaking there , the sealer is very thick.... I would suspect the windshield or the clearence lite....
