2002 Ranger Paint Bubble

A deer ran into my passenger side door 2 years ago and my local Ford dealer repaired and repainted the door. Less than a month later a narrow bubble formed in the paint where the side view mirror meets the door. So far I have had the truck back 4 times to take out the bubble and repaint the door with the same results each time. About 2 weeks after the paint job, the bubble comes back. They claim to have taken the mirror off the door, and done everything to clean the area, etc. I am about to take it back for the 5th time, anyone have a clue as to what is going on with this bubble.

Make sure they do not put the mirror back on until the paint completly dries. Sometimes the pressure can cause it to happen.
