Thin roof panel

I was washing the roof (while on a step ladder) and I noticed how thin and flimsy the roof panel is at the front. In fact I almost dented it while trying to reach across.
I know many vehicles are like this, but it seems particularly bad on the Sport. I guess it is due to not having any supporting ridges at the front, making it easier to fit a sunroof. I know the vehicle must be strong, but it did make me wonder what would happen if one of these were to flip onto it's roof. Matt

The D3 sounds like you are in a tin shed in heavy rain - does the RRS suffer the same problem? Currently: Carbon Black 535d
RIP: RRSTDV6 HSE & DISCO3 HSE

I haven't noticed it, but then we haven't had much rain this year yet. Matt
