I had something similar a few years ago, on a different car,when I got some seagull crap on the roof. Unfortunately I didn't notice it at the time and by the time I washed it off it had left a sort of crackled paint surface as if you had painted over a patch of oil or grease.
Paint job
Had a search on this "fault", but apart from the rusty tailgate nothing similar.
After washing our car on Sunday I noted that some of the paint on the roof is damaged. It is what I would describe as "crackled" and appears to have slight pulled apart from itself.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar ?
I tried to photograph it, but it doesn't really show up (within the red box):

So it's a trip to the main stealership for them to check and see if it's a warranty job.
Unfortunately our nearest stealership doesn't have a body shop, so it's a trip further afield for Anna.
Will keep this updated with outcome.

Was what I was thinking it was. Sadly would have occured when it was the demo car at the stealership.
Unfortunately I didn't really check the roof when we bought it (lesson learned), so will probbaly have to lump it. At leats no one sees it, unless they're 7 foot tall.
Knowing our luck VX will insist on a respray to keep the paint warranty valid

Would have thought after all the yearsfrom switching to water based paint they'd have developed something a bit more resistant to damage from bird droppings/tree sap etc...
