I also own a 2001 Corolla in black that has the same exact problem. Any surface that is in reach of the sun, the clear coat has peeled off. I didn't notice anything wrong with the car at all until washing it on Christmas day before I went to my dad's house. The roof felt rough but nothing noticeable by sight. I got on a step ladder and could slightly see some texture. Within a month the roof was peeling terrible just like the 2001.
Now we are several years down the road and there is not a single panel on the car that doesn't have this problem.
Toyota needs to send out some kind of financial fix for this, since a repaint is no longer an option. I won't trust them to repaint the car. Considering this car bought brand new in 2004 after tax title and license was over $30k out the door I'm furious. I used to love Toyota's reliability along with high quality. This Corolla is a recycled beer can, with the thinnest most easily dented metal I have ever encountered followed only by it's even worse paint products. Good job. thanks for stealing $30k from me for a P.O.S (also the motor blew up last month after a lube shop shoved an oil gun in the valve cover and bent the metal shield inside until it hit the cam wheel and sprayed metal fragments all inside the motor. Shoddy design at best.)
