The clear coat paint on top of your hatchback is peeling. You noticed it on September 29, 2025, with no warning signs beforehand. Your dealer said the paint warranty has expired and Kia won't cover it under their 3-year, 36,000-mile paint warranty. Fixing this will likely involve sanding down the affected area and repainting the hatchback top.
