Default TOP Tearing issue

I don't know if this has happened to any other roadster user but a few months back I noticed a strange protrusion where the roof folds near the rear windshield on both sides of the car. I noticed it because I saw a bit of color fade there but I didn't really mind it much I figured it was just regular wear. The problem got worst as time went on and it developed into a small tear on both sides of the car. I've had the car since December and I do put the top down and up daily but having the material wear like that so fast is a bit unusual I think. I believe the bulge that caused the advance wearing was a bundle of wires in a ribbed casing. Well I took it to the dealer and they are replacing the top. I just wanted to let everyone know the issue so you guys can keep an eye out for the problem. The service person said that the new roof material should be in this Thursday. While typing this I realize that I should have taken some pic to show what I was talking about so I will post some tomorrow after I take them.
