Brian,
I think are both trying to help you, and also get out of the deal. If they
wanted to correct the affected areas, they should not be charging you
anything. $150 at their cost probably just about pays for the spot repairs.
(Course I don't know how big an area you're talking about.) You should get
them to cover any future areas that peal as well, because it is going to
happen. Just a matter of time. I don't believe anything is going to truly
correct your paint problems short of stripping and repainting the entire
vehicle.

Subject: DML: peeling clear coat... the saga continues....
So I get a call this evening from my "Friendly Dodge Dealer" about my clear
coat peeling on the hood and roof. They have offered to fix it if I pay a
deductable of $150 for them to sand it and have it re clearcoated in the
spots and to do any touch ups that are necessary. What do you all think of
this??? Frankly I was suprised to even get a call back from them without
even bugging them about it. Do I take this offer or keep at it and see if
they will pay for the whole thing? There have been reports of people
sticking by it and eventually having to go to court so DC will fix the
problem but that is something i dont think i have the time to prepare. He
said it was a "Goodwill offer" since i am the original owner yada yada
yada..... and its only good for 90 days and if it ever peels anywhere else,
then i am up the creek and have to fix it myself.
