As the title says. I just noticed today that I have clear coat peeling off on my driver's rear fender near the fuel door. Anyone else had this issue? Is there an easy fix?

Wow - That is a pretty big spot. what year is your Raptor? I'd go back to the dealer, that should not be happening under normal use.

Is that clear coat over your decal? They are supposed to be matte. Maybe repaired by dealer before sale?

Yeah good eye, sure looks like that to me now that you mention it. WTF?

Agree, I was thinking the same thing. The decals don't look right, looks like clear was sprayed over them. I'm guessing this was dealer lot or transport damage that was fixed VERY incorrectly.

Absolutely a horrible repair job. The orange peel alone is a giveaway. There is always some on mass produced cars but clear over clear (different brands, heat flashing etc) makes it worse.

They sold you a fixed car.

Well that is assuming OP bought his car new and did not apply aftermarket decals. Let's all not be quick to come to a conclusion that this was a dealer issue. We need more details from OP.
