i was washing my 2013 silverado this morning and the hose was blowing chunks of on the roof where the windshield and roof meet. Brutal i thought the had issues with this in the early 90s it was a primer issue. Evidentally they still havent figured it out.

Is the paint white? There seems to still be issues with the white paint peeling.

Did you buy it new or used? I bought a used 08 Silverado with paint coming off the bed as I power washed it. Turns out the previous owner or the dealership I bought it from repainted the whole bed. They did a good enough job of making it look nice so I couldn’t tell but the obviously didn’t prep good.
