Hi Zack, I just bought a 05 cadillac sts about a month ago with only 68,400k. Car looks to be in beatiful shape. What I didn`t notice was about 10 rust bubbles under the paint on the roof along the top of the windshield. Not very big, 1/4 to 3/8 in dia. Thought it was tree sap at first. They are hard to see, car is black and very shiny. Cadillac has no moldind to cover top of windshield to edge of roof, instead it`s like a small channel 1/4 deep, 1/4 across & 1/4 back up to meet roof.

Went to 2 dealerships in Edmonton. Rust warranty is 6 years or 160,000k but they basically told me, so sad, too bad, the rust has to be all the way through. I pretty much have to be looking at the sky to qualify. This is a very poor design from the get go and they basically agreed. These bubbles are only on the roof between windshield & moon roof.

I got a quote from a GM dealer body shop @ $1,800. Is there anything that I can do? Or am I stuck with this? Never had rust on a roof or any kind at such low kms. This car came from California originally. HELP!!!!

Motormouth.ca says: 6:05 PM on November 25, 2011 $1800 sounds like a lot to repair rust bubble along the top of the windshield and yes rust warranties are only for ''rust perforation'' or holes. I would check at a regular body shop and ask how much it would be to fix the rust and blend in the paint on the roof, which most people cannot see. Maybe after you get the rust fixed and the roof touched-up, you might want to ask the body shop to install 3M protective film along the edge of the roof to stop stones from chipping in the future. This film is clear and can only be seen up close, plus it isn't expensive.
