You shouldn’t have any gap when closed, and it should sit flat. Will post some photos of ours tomorrow.

Sits better now but concerned why the issues both sit on the drivers side and the potential shearing on the clamp/clasp bolts. Also if fabric is not fitted right will it tear?Fabric does appear to be installed slightly askew. Is the back section correspondingly rotated? So no change in the clip position? Does the poptop sit flush when closed?
Probably more of an aesthetic issue. No risk of tearing. The fabric will pull out of the guides before it tears.Sits better now but concerned why the issues both sit on the drivers side and the potential shearing on the clamp/clasp bolts. Also if fabric is not fitted right will it tear?
Hope so, the fabric is taught and more concave than on the drivers side. Poor workmanship for a £60k + vehicle. Also concerned that if something goes wrong then it will be attributed to user error. Resale also an issue for those buyers with an acute eye for faults.Probably more of an aesthetic issue. No risk of tearing. The fabric will pull out of the guides before it tears.
Breeze are speaking to VW before responding….,What has Breeze said. They should at least have another go at refitting the fabric. Its frustrating when shops have little interest in doing the job right. Would they be happy with a misaligned bellows? It would bug me every time I popped the top.
Does the poptop now fit flush against the spoiler?
Been waiting 3 years for action on a recall issue relating to roof corrosion on an elevating roof.Update from @breeze - VW Executive Office to respond to my concerns. No update from + Breeze . Has anyone on this forum waited 12 months for a resolution to a manufacturing fault under warranty?
Sorry to hear the problem didn’t get solved.
I thought I’d post better photos of my roof and the misaligned seal and clamps. See below.
My Coast was delivered end of July 2022. Inexperienced summer extras did the roof?
I don’t know if all Coasts are like this, but ours appears to have all the connection points for the Ocean roof hydraulics, but they were filled in with some type of grey «goo». Not pretty. Attached a photo of that too.

Thanks. I wonder if they still do it, or if it was a temporary thing because of supply chain issues caused by the pandemic?Hi, re connection points and goo - I asked the same question as my Coast has this mess on it yet my t5.1 beach didn’t. I was told is was normal….
