Bad primer. There as a lawsuit about it but didn’t go anywhere

Hey FRF, was just washing the truck when I noticed these paint imperfections on both sides towards the edges on the roof. No other part of the truck has this only on the top.

Is this sort of a ford factory paint problem?

That wavy junk is the sealant that seals the seam between the roof ranels. Should be nice and smooth.

If your paint color is oxford white, you will have troubling with it pealing and flaking off. It has been a problem with Ford since before the 90's. I have had several oxford white trucks and have had trouble with the paint on every one of them. Try using a good wax on the paint. I found this helps the best. Also, do not let water sit up on those places you identified. The rubber put on with the rivet can be replaced. You might check with a reputable glass company and they might be able to replace it.
