Joe M. My 09 Lmtd El white has those same cracks in the paint by the sun roof. This happened when an incompetent trans shop employe bent the roof on their lift with a cross bar at the top. The safety mechanism to prevent this was not functioning and they lifted it up into the bar. The only good news is it did not break the glass.
My point is that these cracks in the paint are from the rack being over loaded to bend the roof in some or some other force to do this. I have been is the auto body repair business for 50 plus years and see these stress cracks all the time. Scrape all the lose and bubbled paint off. Scrape a larger area till it stops popping off with ease. Clean the rust with a wire brush etc. as bast as u can.For a novice I would recommend a product such as rust-oleum OIL base primer and top it with gloss oil base paint. For these small areas on a roof so high that normal people can't see I would brush it on. Note: Oil base ONLY.
I had an 03 Eddy and now the 09 and love em. Enjoy
