I have a white 03 F350 and the paint is coming off the roof. After some brief research I found a discussion about factory paint that was too thick and thus vulnerable to cracking due to thermal expansion. I am inclined to accept this theory as this truck was always a flat land truck until I bought it this fall and brought it home to the mountains - 4200' - and subjected it to snow and polonged temps under 30 degrees f. I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this or heard of it and if anyone knows if Ford is taking any respnsibility. I looked over recall info and didnt see anything. If I have to I'll re-paint the roof, but I've never been thrilled with my paint skills.

 

Mine hasn't peeled, but the one edge of each of the channels has a crack that runs the full length of the channel. I've tried ospho and filling it with touch up, but haven't had much success with it.

I remember a few years ago, probably around 2003 ford had a batch of bad steel and had to replace a few expedition or explorer roofs that had rotted out.
