Roof canvas problem

[Dombo]

Hi,

I have the manual roof system on the Cali beach. I have just bought it one month ago. Once lowering the roof I haven't notice that the lateral back was folding out instead of in on one side. The result is a small hole in the canvas and the metal piece inside the canvas being in a wobbly shape. It is still working but very annoying. My california is still under its one year guaranty. I was checking always the front folding going well, but i was not expecting the back to create such an issue. Does anyone experience the same issue and got guarantee coverage?

I am looking forward to hear your experience.
thanks a lot,
Dom

Happened to me once when I thought I was getting a bit blase at dropping the roof but no apparent damage and now I wear the headtorch that I keep in the drivers side door to ensure it's folding inwards on the six springs. I'm also far more cautious when dropping the roof as the extra 10 seconds of diligence is obviously worth it. I did manually bend the offending spring back inwards when it happened.
