It's like that on both sides, but not as bad on the driver's side. I'm not paying to repaint the roof if I'm just going to sell it, but this is gay. Anyone else's paint doing that?

My brothers has the same issue and noticed it after he had an accident repaired. It looks like there is a rubber seal that rubs paint away with the vibrations of the car or the factory did not apply enough paint and or water gets trapped in there. It looks like alot of us may be seeing rust or paint issues in the roof line as our cars get older. It could also be that you car was repainted and taped off at that line.

Damn that ******* sucks...

Dont you constantly detail your car though lol? And you've never noticed that?

If your gunna paint the roof black, paint the whole top half of the car black and two tone the bitch.

Yeah I do detail it ALOT but have never noticed..I guess it's because of the angle you need to be at to see it (have to be looking from the inside of the car)

I'm kind of liking this look
