My hardtop has white specs all over it in certain areas where the top was clearly not painted well at the factory. And, there is also a small chip in one spot. This is mostly behind the doors (that I've seen so far). It's not very noticeable from a distance, but when you are standing right next to the Jeep you can see it pretty easily.

I don't know if it's worth making a fuss about or not. What would you do?

 

Did you just buy the jeep?

 

Yes, I leased it new on Memorial Day weekend. So I've had it about 9 weeks now.

 

Those white specs look like wax or compound where they waxed or buffed the paint and it splattered up on the top

 

If it was there when you bought it take it back and demand it be fixed. Have you tried cleaning off the spots with anything?

 

Since it is a lease especially, I would take it back and have them clean it off. If it is defective paint they need to repaint it, or at least document it so they do not try to blame you when the lease is up.

 

well if it weren't new i would just color it in with a sharpie.
since it is take that shit back to the dealer and make em fix it.

 

Bed line it

 

Since you leased it, I would take it to the dealer to at least get it documented that there was an issue early on. That way it will be harder for them to claim later that you did it!

 

I am painting my hard top to match the paint. some like it some don't but I like it and thats what makes jeeps unique. so thats my opinion
