I tried different things to slow/stop the clear coat failure on my Yaris. Nothing worked. Roof clear is just about gone. Some spots here and there left.
The hatch is starting go just below the glass, near the edges....

Yeah mine was about the same... mainly the roof, door tops, and the rear hatch that started by the top edge by the glass.
Keep in mind that car painting is now done by robot painters and evidently the programing for the robot gives it a too thin coat in those areas.
With the repaint in the effected areas I can now see that it has a much thicker coat of color and clear paint than the factory paint job.
My mirrors need a repaint because the color and clear coat were both ridiculously thin. They now look better than from the factory.
BTW, both bumpers are not effected. Both have heavy coats of paint from the factory.
Keep in mind that the bumpers are painted separately from from body.
