I have a 2016 Civic EX-L in Aegean Blue. Same exact issue and location for me. Looks like I need to take this to the dealer too.
My dealer (Oakland, CA) ended up paying 50%. Not as good as some others in this thread but better than nothing I guess…

Honda did have almost chronic problems with Taffeta White for years even until recently, that peeled in this exact same manner and location. So bad that I exclusively avoided TW, thought the blue wouldn't have the same damn problem but shit.

Something I noticed is everyone who reported this here has between 2016-2017. I wonder if anyone with an AB of higher model years has this? Or whether they just haven't hit the amount of years required for this crap to start peeling...

This is really weird and its widening with time. Honda says talk to dealer, Dealer says we are talking to honda. This is really not expected from Honda

It’s been a while since there have been any new posts in this thread so I hope those who have dealt with this problem can offer some insight. I now have the paint flaking off. Agean blue touring civic. I already talked to dealership and got the ball rolling. I have to get two estimates and submit it to them. My question is did anyone ask when getting the estimate if they will check the paint of the whole car so that in the future there won’t be other spots that do the same thing? Thanks for the insight.

I walk outside this morning and I noticed this exact same issue. I went to a local Honda Dealer and they said they have never seen this issue before and suggested me call Honda Customer Care. Seeing this post, I assume this is an issue with the Aegean Blue color? Rather upset seeing how its a 2016 Touring and I am the original owner.

Just discovered it on mine this weekend. Went to dealer, but have to go back next week when body shop manager is back and can inspect and test the paint thickness. I assume nobody has or has come across a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) for this?
Yep.. 2016 Touring Aegean Blue by the back window

Honda Civic hatchback ex
I was pulling gas today and notice my paint chipping in the rain groove of my rear window. I live in SoCal so the car hardly sees rain. I’m really upset and disappointed. Anyone seen issues like this? Or know who to contact? I got the car 1/2016 so I’m almost certain Honda is gonna ignore me.

I have this same issue with my hatchback ex. Took it to the dealership to see if it’s faulty paint from the assembly and they said the previous owner must’ve gotten it repainted and they did a crappy job. It’s upsetting because he also pointed out that the paint will continue to chip everywhere the car was touched except for the roof as that is still original paint. I had people comment on how the black looked like a galaxy under the sun but I never noticed until I had the car detailed and waxed. Sucks that I will eventually have to invest in a paint job along with my dual ac being faulty for the second time in a year.
