Body
Paint is chipping and peeling along upper windshield. There have been no rocks or hail or any other reason for this to happen. A flake came off one day and as time went by i began to notice more areas. Upon a google search of chevy forums i find that this is not an uncommon issue, right down to the specific year/make/model and area of damage.

Body
I take good care of my dash, i put a blanket over it and a sun visor to protect it from the sun. Yet, it still managed to get a crack. I believe it might be due to gm using cheap material or over tightening the dash. This had to happen on a very hot day when my truck was parked.

Paint has peeled off above the windshield, paint looks very thin and brittle. Dashboard has two cracks near the passenger airbag. I am worried that if the airbag every went off the piece of plastic will be shot off and be a piece of shrapnel in an accident.
