I have a 2004 Expedition and I have noticed a few places on the tailgate that the paint seems to be bubbling. After researching this, I found out this is common and the tailgate is aluminum. My truck is in really good shape and I would like to fix this...how would you go about fixing this and keeping the problem from coming back? Thanks.

 

I just searched this forum and didn't find anything on this. I know I've seen plenty of Expy's in the 03-07 models that have the paint bubble between the glass and the lisc plate/lift gate handle. My wifes was doing it pretty bad and I thought it was corrosion. While washing it last week the paint flaked off and I saw the metal underneath. I thought it was galvanized, but maybe it is aluminum. Either way, I was looking to see if Ford was covering this for other people because I've seen it on so many other lift gates. I'm gonna do more research on it.
