Hardtop dented during stowage?
I have two large symmetrical dents in the exterior of the hardtop above each passenger head area, right where the rear cover or flaps rest on top of the roof in the stowed position. As if there is excessive pressure on the top when stowed. Anyone else seen this?

I use mine often and checked for any signs.... none noted. Nothing on MB recall listing. Any word from your local service rep?

If you operate the roof to the point where the rear shelf flips up and then stop, you might be able to compare the location of the indentations with the bits on the underside of the shelf... ?
