I noticed on the passager side a small cut in the roof, like if someone use a knife on it.

I open the roof almost mostly and i find that the way the roof bend in the mecanism is the culprit. And it s not the same attachement between right and left side.
Can someone look and tell me if it s the same for you ? Look at the small vinyl band that hold the roof

Here is the wear

Left side normal

Right side where the problem is, folding pattern is different

Thank you. I show them to ford, they took some pictures to make a request to change the roof under warranty. And ask me to bring the two covers to polish them, because sharp edges can damage the roof

I'd pay just to watch the replacement process.

I wasn t there, it took one work day to do it. When you look at it, it seems complicated, and you understand the beauty behind this mecanism. I don t know the price for it. Everything seems to have been well done. No strange noises.
They cut the underneath of the side covers used to hide the mechanism when you want a cleaner look. Because they are responsible for some cuts in the roof
