Had my windshield swapped last week by a mobile glass tech, and he slapped some tape across the roof edge to hold the moldings down while the adhesive cured. He told me to leave it on for a day or two. It sat thru two hot afternoons, and when I peeled it slowly today a strip of paint came up with it on the passenger side. Now there's a bare patch about the size of my hand along the trim line. The car is a 2013 with what I'm pretty sure is original paint, though the roof does look a little faded compared to the rest of the body. It's a white car so maybe that matters? The tape didn't rip on the driver side, just this one spot, which makes me think the paint was alredy weak there.
So what's my move here? Do I call the glass company and ask them to make it right, or is this just considered my problem since the tape sat longer than they intended? And if it ends up on me, is a touch-up pen from the dealer good enought for a spot this big, or would a body shop need to blend the whole panel? Never dealt with anything like this before so I'm kind of guessing at what's normal.
