Has anyone other than me noticed the apparent weakness in the roof. While cleaning the car I had occasion to press on the roof. To my amazement it flexed downward pretty easy. In fact in my younger days I have compressed beer cans that had more structural stability than the roof. The car must have very strong corner posts to protect the driver and passengers in the event of a roll over.
Also where the roof antenna attaches to the roof, it appears this area will allow water to leak into the passenger area.
Are my concerns warranted or am I just a worry wart?

The roof being thin was covered in another post somewhere as I recall. As for the leaking, I am not sure. Try a search for the roof

Terrains and Noxs made before march 2010 seems to have that skinny problem... Mine was built april end and my roof is rock solid.

Could having the sunroof make any difference? Isn't there more bracing in the sunroof-equipped vehicle?

On the website mentioned above they said that the quote is the best on the ones mades after march 2010. So i think that they made a change on the roof between these dates.
