I bought my 'S' before I knew about the roof wear problems and, on mine it was already there when I bought it. I hadn't noticed it in the dealership.
Got a replacement roof, with glass instead of plastic window from Carhoodwarehouse.

Thanks for this. The single sheets have sold out now but I got 6 sheets for a fiver plus postage. A lot cheaper than a new roof.

Cheers

 

ive bought 2 packs - is there a better guide somewere or were to put it ? im not 100% clear on were to stick it from the picture

Thanks for the tip, just had a look & started to wear a bit so stuck about a 1/2" by 2" piece of fluffy velcro stuff on the wear spots (10mm tops) for the time being.

Any tips or ideas on how to fix, reduce getting worse etc?
