I junked it in 2012 with 40,000 miles on it when I couldn’t get the doors to close anymore due to the sag. Roof rattled like a a bucket of bolts. The wind and rain would blow through the 2 inch gap between the windshield and the roof.

Will never own another ragtop again...
Wow, that sounds like quite the problems list.
Mine isn't quite so bad, no leaks no extra road noise, no door jamming.
Just roof that isn't operational. Only 34,000 miles on it too. Shame.
I wonder if insurance will be willing to cover as it seems to be a design fault not user error. I have also read about this quote been given out by the Dealers - i was hoping it was a myth.
