End Cap Bubble

While backing out of my driveway today I looked up and noticed a spot on my end Cap about 8-12" down from the top. It looked like a bubble. I went up and felt around and pushed on the area and couldn't feel anything. No play when pushing either. So I'm not sure it's actually a bubble. It was dusk at the time. Anyone have any experience? It's a 2016 Cougar 327RES.

There has been a lot of discussion on the installation of the rear panel lately. Some bulging, canning, whatever you like to call it is perfectly normal. There have been some rare cases of the panel coming loose from the top and pulling away. Do a search or look back a couple of weeks. I am sure others will chime in.

Edit: Are you talking about the Front Cap? or rear?

Front cap is where I see the bubble. About 8 inches down from the top. I ran my hand over it and I can't feel anything different, it doesn't feel like a bubble , but I can see something

This is one of those situations where a picture is worth a thousand words. What some would call a bubble is very different from how another would describe it. Please post some pictures of the area you're concerned with and be sure to include the "bubble".....

Pictures

Attached are a few pictures of the "bubble". If you look under the air vent and left of the light you can see the suspicious spot.

Thinking out loud here, or really un-knowledgeable how the new caps are done. I know the new caps are painted, but is there a chance the top black part is a decal and the cap is really painted white. I could see that being a decal bubble.
