Default More bubbling paint syndrome...

I read the posts about the bubbling paint problems on the rear hatch. But, I have a 02 convertible and the paint is bubbling on both sides of the trunk, upper right and left corner. Is this covered by the same service bulletin or is this a separate issue?

Must have been a reapint on yours. Highly unlikely yours is covered since the problem with the hatches is actually a problem inside the hatch.

I'm the original owner. No repaint on this trunk.

It may be covered by the bulletin, but in reading the info from GM, it may be an issue that needed to be fixed during the warranty period. Now, I could be wrong on that, but it certainly can't hurt to go to your dealer and inquire about it.

Doesn't mean it wasn't repainted before you got it!
