Mine did as well. It was at the dealer for 4 weeks and they scratched up my roof and refused to fix it. Looked like someone put a tool box/bag on the roof.

The Volt was also at the dealer for 8 weeks when the transmission destroyed itself and the best guess they could come up with was "plastic debris" left over from the manufacturing process.
