    i thought the darker colors absorbes more heat from the sun, then example white.

    Does the heat of the sun in Amerika the adhesive outgassing more than in example Europe, i am member of several (Camaro) forums in Europe, and the problem with the roofs is never told.

      Yes, dark colors do absorb more heat, and lighter colors reflect heat. Heat does not cause panel bubbling, chemicals do. Also, it has nothing to do with your location on planet earth.

        You all keep going back and forth between t-tops and roof paint/clearcoat. Which is it that's bubbling- your t-tops or your roof paint/clearcoat? You lost me.

          My roof paint/clearcoat on the sail panel which is between the t-tops and the rear hatch glass.

            It's not the ttops, it's the sail panel there talking about( The part of the roof just above the hatch) The glue used to attach the panel was found to have problems on the later year cars and it would release gas/vapor up through the panel which it would then be trapped under the primer/paint/clearcoat and will cause it to bubble until it would pop. As mentioned earlier it can look like herpes for F-bodys

              Actually, it doesn't affect paint. This is the most common misconception of this issue. Roof bubbling is the actual plastic sail panel deforming.
