I’ve always noticed this, I figured it’s just dirt stuck in the channel so didn’t give any mind to it. But today I tried using a detailing brush and noticed it looks like paint is chipped and has spots in it. I have about 42k miles on my truck, it’s a 2018. Not sure if warranty would cover this.
Aluminum Panels on 2015 F150s, 2016 cars & light trucks, and beyond vehicles, corrosion damage is covered for 5 years/unlimited miles with no requirement for perforation.
the roof channel here made of aluminum right?
thank you!

Yes the roof is aluminum,
However,
I don’t think that falls under corrosion. It looks like the paint is just flaking off due to an adhesion issue. There have been a number of trucks that have had this issue. Unless under bumper to bumper, I don’t think ford will do anything about it.

ahhh that sucks. Good thing it’s aluminum,(no rusting!) so it should be ok for me to just clean the area with alcohol and hit it up with touch up paint?

thank you for your input!!
Thats exactly what I’d do. I’d try to scape any loose flaking parts and touch it up. You’ll likely need to add more touch up paint in the future, but that pant wail hold it down and greatly slow the process.
My old 2008 F150 was white and was doing this along where the bed met the bed rail. It grew ever so slightly, but I kept it from growing much for about 10 years.
Discovered this &#*@ today while washing truck. 2018 w/49k miles. This is the current quality level for which Ford charges 60, 70, 80 thousand dollars??!! WTF
