Roof bowed and cracked

[Derrens1]

My 2022 Marco Polo has suffered a ‘bowed’ roof. About a 1/3 of the way back on left and right the roof has spread wider and I longer closes into the channel but instead sits on top.

There are large cracks on the front of the roof which I suspect are due to the closure mechanism pulling down on the roof causing stress cracking.

Mercedes technical have confirmed the roof needs replacing.

Anyone else seen this issue?

Sadly it appears to be a thing yes. Out of interest when you raise and lower the roof do you have the bed connected or not?

Yes, there have been a few examples on here, but relatively rare.
