: Roof landing "hard" when folding into the back?

So I have been noticing lately when the roof opens (and this could have been the way since I got the car) as it goes into the rear, it doesn't "fall" but lands hard enough to make the rear end of the car shake up and down just a little. It isn't horrible, but I was just wondering if other Eos's are the same or does the assembly slowly stop folded up in the back without any "thud".

It work perfectly fine, but I want to catch any problems early. Maybe it is all the moving parts that makes me nervous. I love the car, but I'm afraid there is a lot to potentially break.

Your thoughts please

Joe

Hi Pepino, I have had my Eos since the middle of last September and to date the roof operation has always been smooth, with no jerkiness or thuds.
It may be wise to have your dealers service dept to have a quick look at the operation.

ps I am not going to try it today, cos it's raining cats and dogs outside.
