Not got mine for the weekend they need more time on this.

A new roof liner is being fitted they have to remove the outer mohair and fit inner then fit outer back.

Job is taking longer than the expected 2 days.

The roof has been adjusred so it won't happen again, whatever that means i will ask when i collect the car.

BTW i didn't get a cygnet as a courtesy car biggrin but a new C class.

Just out of interest, was this done on the AM new car warranty or an AM used/extended warranty. I know they are supposed to be the same, but the latter seems to end up being inferior.

Further proof if needed of the mighty DB9s superiority over the insignificant Vantage.

There is no other rational explanation.
