Thought I read on here that the trunk was too small to use anyway. Non-issue.

I'll keep this in mind now that I have done ANOTHER touch-up. Thanks.

That seems be the cure. My touch-up is holding strong and I used the trunk several times this past weekend.

Update. After dropping off my Camaro to have the paint chip fixed on the drivers side of the deck lid and knowing that the body shop had to remove the trunk lid (deck) due to bad fit they called me. Turns out there's a chip on the passenger side as well. The dealership I bought my Camaro from tried to touch up that area before delivery without mentioning it to me. Anyway, the dealership I'm using now said that they will need a total of seven days to fix it. They have to pull the deck lid and straighten it and work on the rear fenders. The factory screwed up in the installation. Good news is that it's all covered under warranty. I've got a 2016 Chevy Cruze to drive as a loaner at no charge. It's not my Camaro SS, but it will have to do.

By the way, the paint chipping on the deck lid will continue until it is fix by a body shop. Touch up paint is just a band aid according to the body shop owner.

Add me too the list. Same chip location as pictured, drivers side. Gonna try a touch up and only open it from the bow tie area since I really don't want to have my whole quarter panel painted for this.

Going in wednesday for this. Warranty issue for sure. Oh well.

I noticed today that I have THE exact issue. Trunk chips / chipped the passenger corner of the trunk.

Yep, mine is on the driver side. Same issue and you had a very early build and I just bought mine yesterday which had a March build date. They sure did create a very narrow gap there when opening and closing this trunk lid. I bet there are a bunch of these if we have this many folks on the forum experiencing it.

I hope a quick tweak to the alignment is all that is needed.

Wow lol. They at least fixed the paint issue as far as I know after the early builds. I will take it to my dealership and see what they say. I have to know what the exact fix is, I am not leaving my car at body shop so they roll the edge of the trunk lid or my panel just so it doesn't rub.

Had the same as the picture, just on passenger side. Wasn't very big so I just mixed up some paint and we touched it up ourselves. Not at the shop at the moment but I believe my paint code is 139X, Nightfall Gray comes up as "Son of a Gun Gray Metallic" in our system(BASF).

I just noticed this yesterday on our new April built 16' 2SS.. Right side chip. You can see the trunk alignment is not correct. How the hell is this happening over and over during assembly? They've been building these for a year already...

Guess it's going into the dealer... Not looking forward to them trying to match paint on Silver Ice metallic. 200 miles, trunk has been opened twice.

Thank you Lauren, PM sent.

I also apologize if I came across as accusatory and bitter. Issues do not bother me, that's what warranty and dealerships are for haha.

[DougCBJ]

Mine did this as well. It looks like you have plenty of clearance if opened from the middle of the trunk, but if you close or open the trunk from one side, the trunk lid definitely makes contact with the rear quarter panel.

Mine is an on-going saga that may be coming to an end within a day or two. I've posted my issues on this thread. From day one my dealer was on top of the situation. Made arrangements with their outside body shop to have my Camaro picked up and taken to their shop. After determining the course of action they decided to remove the trunk and rear quarter panels and straighten what wasn't fitting correctly. They then re-painted the parts with Garnet Red paint and clear coat. They are in the process of putting my Camaro back together. My dealer gave me a new Chevy Cruze to drive at no charge. I'd rather lose a week's driving time and get it fixed right than buying more touch-up paint. Repairs all covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
