THIS IS NOT TO REPORT AN INCIDENT BUT MORE OF A CONCERN WITH THE ROOF STRUCTURE OF MY 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE PREMIUM. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE WASHING THE ROOF OF MY SUV I NOTICED THE SHEET METAL FLEXING ACROSS THE CENTER MIDLINE OF THE ROOF FROM THE LIFTGATE ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY, I DO NOT HAVE A SUNROOF ON MY VEHICLE. THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I EXERT WHILE SCRUBBING THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS LESS THAT 20 LBS PER SQUARE INCH. I TRIED CAPTURING THIS ON CAMERA BUT THE IMAGES KEEP COMING UP BLURRY. *TR
