I wouldn't even entertaining the thought of having some dealership oil jockey put his dirty paws on my vehicle, in attempt to replace the roof, since extrapolating from how this incident came about, leaves a distinct possibility that the replacement part would entail the same cosmetic blemish as the original.

I know this might sound like sacrilege and ironic to some but if it really irked that much, I would probably just paint the carbon roof in a glossy black hue to disguise the said flaw and call it a day, before resorting to having my low production vehicle hacked up.

I hope CS owners find closure in whatever avenue they choose to come to terms with this issue and it doesn't discourage them from an otherwise remarkable piece of machinery.
this type of work is typically outsourced to the local body shop. oil jockeys tend to not actually do the work they aren't trained to do.
I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure a roof swap would be an in-house job. I've noticed there is an entire passage dedicated to this, in the dealer training manual.

So let say this is true, in theory, one would assume they would summons their highly knowledgeable "Master Technician" for an intricate job like this but from want I've learn, in practice, anyone clocked in for work, that has a minimum of a ASE certification and read a shop manual, gets the ticket that day. It's a roll of dice, the foreman uses the manpower he has..

It a car basically a machine with thousands of parts working in unison, it's not rocket science. My issue is room for human error and possible blowbacks from having to tear-ass open my lid. As a wise man once said; "Shit Happens" 🙌
