Default Just had a new roof fitted by the stealer...

I have just had a new roof fitted by the stealer under warranty as the old worn had worn out.

Anyway I picked it up this morning and when I got home, I had a closer look and its different to the previous roof.

As you all know there are 3 cross bars that form the frame, basically the front bar (ie closest to the windscreen) sits higher when the roof is closed (in comparison to my old MY02 roof). When you look at the car from the outside the roof looks more domed. It was raining when I got home so I have not really had a good look at it but is definitely noticable.

To cut a long story short, is there any differences between the MY04/05 hoods in comparison to an 02?

This is how dome head looks

Cheers

Having looked at it again when its not p1ssing with rain it looks awful.

Its a bit annoying that a stealer cant get it right when it obviously looks so wrong

That looks terrible - you can see it actually stretching the vinyl away from the rubber. I cannot beleive a dealer would leave it like that!! Which dealer did this?

IMO the fault is with the frame - it looks like the two cross stays are in reverse order.
