Hi,
the other day I was seating on the back seats while I noticed some oscillations of the roof pillars from the windscreen on a bumpy road, as if the roof attachments were not tight enough. This does not happen on fine roads and even at high speed it is fine.

Is this normal?

You'll never find a convertible which is totally rigid. Eos is much better in this respect than most.

My question wasn't about the rattle (I have some but they come from the rear part and the roof is not krytoxed, I will apply it soon) but rather about the movements the roof makes in respect of the windscreen.

I just wanted to know if you noticed that on your Eos when going over bumpy roads and if this is completely normal or maybe I should point that to the dealer.
I know it's a convertible I just feel the attachments may be a bit on the loose side (after all it's an automatic process, not a manual one with levers like it used to be on older convertibles) :)

What your saying actually sounds like flex in the chassis to me, and yes, they all do that :)
Yes, ALL convertibles do that bar none.
Some are much worse than others and are like a bucking bronco, but Eoses are one of the best.
