Wow that’s awesomeFollow up to my post. The roof will be replaced under warranty
i live in canada so i use it 4-5 month. And i almost open it 6 times a day. For use it s worstening the problem i think but there is no limit in the manual :-)Out of curiosity, how much do you raise/lower your top? To be clear, you should be able to do that as much as you'd like, just wondering if there's a tipping point where there's concern.
I don't drive mine daily, and I rarely put the top up, seriously, based on my '16, I bet I put the top up 3-4 times a month

First, I’m very jealous. Two, I thought I had read/heard that it’s actually good to store it with the top UP as much as possible. It allows the top to remain stretched and less likely to have permanent creasing or loose elasticity. Any truth to that, you think?Out of curiosity, how much do you raise/lower your top?

I think the top shrinking is more of a vinyl top issue than cloth, and also temperature related, as in low temperature, which our friend in FL probably doesn’t have to worry about, although I understand that above Orlando it can occasionally get cool there. I have driven with the top down as cool as the low 40s and not had any issue when I put it back up.First, I’m very jealous.

Very good and valid points. My Midwest brain didn’t think of the more moderate climates.I think the top shrinking is more of a vinyl top issue than cloth, and also temperature related, as in low temperature, which our friend in FL probably doesn’t have to worry about, although I understand that above Orlando it can occasionally get cool there.

Holy crap - 3 replacements already?! I fear for my car.... ugh...I had a roof replacement already 3 times and the problem stays , also after realignment. My car is again in the shop now, for almost a mount already. As it is still warranty. I do think the best thing to do if there is no more warranty is just to put a elastic string on the sides to help the cover go inside and not to get between the metal frame any more... if ford can not come with a proper solution.
5 is cold even with heat turned on if you are not stuck in traffic. I m a salesman so when i stop somewhere i always close the topHey, you're living in the wrong part of Canada
Any day that is dry and above 5C is top down weather, regardless of time of year. In the prime months (April-October), the top is down pretty much every day. This season I started leaving the top down in the garage overnight and only putting the top up upon arriving at the office, so I was really only cycling it once every 24 hours. Of course, weekends are different as I won't leave it with the top down in a parking lot, unless I'm just dashing in and out of somewhere, so it sometimes gets cycled a few times in a day. 6 cycles a day for me just doesn't happen.
