You wash the roof!? Your Jim isn't high enough! Haha 
How ever that dose sound weird I havnt had any problems myself and havnt heard any other reports
Has the paint been chipped? Or has it bubbled up from under the paint?

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

You need to determine what the problem is.
Something may have dropped on the paint e.g. bird poo or nasty corrosive tree sap.
There may have been a dent in the roof that hasn't been repaired very well
Someone like Ed China may have been using an angle grinder near it and the hot sparks burnt into the paint to go rusty (He never puts anything on paintwork on his TV program)
Try rubbing compound to see if it is above the paint.
The roof (away from the edges of the panels and the roof bar mountings) is about the only part of mine that isn't rusty :dry:

Someone had installed an alternative aerial on the roof of mine at the rear. It looked like it was because the OE aerial was broken. I repaired it then removed the aftermarket one (which was rubbish) and guess what.........yesssssss, lots of rust around the crudely drilled hole. Roofs like mine rust.
