2015 roof paint fading

My 2017 is in the very early stages of this. It is kept in a garage. I complained to the dealership but there has been no follow up from Toyota.
You mentioned using a clay bar. I cringed when I saw that. I used a clay bar on my show car for 2 or 3 years until I saw it was wearing through my paint along the raised edges. I l loved the slippery finish but not the wear. I only use a clay bar now for spots that won't lift.

 

For what it's worth I never even thought of bringing mine to Toyota. The truck was around 10 years old when it started and 12 when it got bad enough for me to do anything. 24/7 outside in the sun with 2 washes a year if it was lucky. I used and abused the truck in my 20s and figured $600 to have the roof repainted was fair enough for an out of pocket expense.
Don't worry - I treat the 2014 much better.

 

every truck I’ve seen that’s been to the dealer has stripped skidplate threads

 

If you had a white truck there is an extended customer satisfaction campaign for the white paint not bonding properly however to my knowledge there are no bulletins about any other colours.

 

Have any documents on this? Is this a Canadian program or US too? I periodically check my vin online to see if there are any recalls or bulletins pertaining to my 040 truck and haven’t seen this yet.

 

I had two small spots on my roof that turned into rust. Since I am installing a Prinsu rack soon I wanted a permanent solution. I paid Line-X $700 to paint the roof and a-pillars around the windshield. I paid a little extra for the premium version so it doesn't fade so quickly in the sunlight. I'm very pleased with it and hope to never have to worry about rust again.

 

Had LineX cover up my toyota issues too! UV coating makes it shine! I had paint failure along the window line belpw the rubber which is why we went an inch below the window. Wasnt my first choice but repair was just too expensive and who knows where the paint is going to fail next

 

Wow that looks really cool. You got a good bit more covered than me. I think I am going to have them do my hood too. They said it would be $400 with the premium line-x.
What product did you use to get your weather strips put back in? The factory double sided tape won’t adhere to the line-x for me.

 

Honestly I'm not sure haha! LineX took care of it for me. I'll find out one day when I slap a roof rack on it.

 

Lots of tacos here in Hawaii with paint fade.my 08 had the same problem.
I bought some rattle can paint and did the roof.
Auto paint stores will color match your truck, and sell you 2 part epoxy primer, color and clear coat for about 200 bucks.
I did my roof first, ( in case I fuck it up).
Still need to do the hood before I sell it. No one really sees the roof.
