Did you remember what the cause of this is yet?
sorry not yet. when i picked up the sheet with details was not available. I will askwhen i drop it off, although that will be a few weeks after the roof has arrived and been sprayed.

Hi, mine looks the same, been trying to get fixed/reject for 8 months. Can you send a photo of the clips inside that secure the roof? Mine are not central and more so I’m proud side of the roof. I believe they can be adjusted. If you watch California chris on YouTube re coast 6.1 it shows these as central (black clip on silver)

So you managed to repair the huge dent in the Aluminium roof with a
Few smacks with your fist.
What about the where the canvas was trapped in the mechanism?
The same thing happened to me a few months ago when it was taken into the main dealer for some work to be done.
They ended up paying for a new canvas plus repairing the dented roof (both sides) plus a complete respray of the roof.
All because the forgot to open the doors when lowering the roof.
I'd be interested to know who replaced the canvas. Mine has 5 splits over 15 years, where it has occasionally been trapped in the roof (which causes the occasional "roof bend"). If they did a good job of the canvas replacement, I'd seriously consider using them, unless they are hundreds of miles from me.
