Default paint peeling in rear window crevice

Never noticed this before...

Gonna put a coat of touch up paint over it, but not sure how well it will hold. We'll see.

Use some scuffing pad with a paint stick to get most of the flaking off.
For best results, put some adhesion promoter with a Q-tip before applying the color over it.
A good clear coat would make everything last longer.

For some reasons, the robots at the factory don't put enough clear in those inside channels so it takes its toll from the element...
Same with the inside fender rails.

Had that happen to me. Touched it up and never had a issue again with that. Common problem with that body style.

Yeah, anytime you have a gap big enough for sunlight to get in, you'll get deterioration on those areas.
My F150 has that problem inside the fender rails...been too lazy to address the issue so far. lol

I had the same thing. Made sure it was cleaned out and dry, used touch up paint, good to go.

Default *fixed* paint peeling s197 mustang 05-09

I had the same problem on my windveil blue 2007. Noticed after buying unfortunately but I just fixed it and it took less than 30 mins if you don’t count washing the car before.

This was before as you can see all the paint was already peeled off and was starting to get very noticeable... not to only me but to nature as well. This is very important to catch before major oxidization. For this paint correction I used the auto craft ford paint matched pen that has the paint and clear coat in it.

I cleaned out the crevice with a wet toothbrush that took off the rest of the paint that was continuing to peel. Then tapered off the glass which is a must. Unless you want a rear window delete. ( I also did not use the brush that came with the pen due to its cheap Brussels).

This was the final product and I also had put a clear coat on that the ford auto craft pen came with.
