I am getting a hand sized web of what look like fine white cracks on the roof of my Black '95 Z28.

I think it may be more than just problems with the paint. I realize that the roof is SMC.

Has anyone else seen this before, or have a method to repair the roof panel?

A search on roof cracking didn't find anything on this board.

Thanks

never heard of it til now. the dealership will know and should tell you though. id look into replacing the whole top personally even if there is not a TSB on it.

The labor of fixing the whole top might make it more prudent to replace it, good advice. The roof panel is around $450.00 with shipping.

No point in getting a paint job with this condition in the roof, cracks would just come right through it.

I found the TSB but I haven't been able to get the full text of it yet. Just the title, I am not sure their website is working right could not down load it. They want some research fee, odd.

Supposed to affect 1999 up cars the worst. Can cause paint bubbles ect, they used the wrong adhesive on some of the cars and changed roof suppliers bad combo.

I don't think they will help me, but who knows. This should not be happening but the car is 10 years old.
