What does the damage type «Roof» mean

Roof damage most commonly results from rollover accidents, fallen trees, or other heavy impacts from above. This is structural damage, and any repair demands careful scrutiny.

What may be damaged

A, B and C body pillars
rollover protection system
panoramic sunroof or standard metal roof panel
ESP sensor wiring and airbag harness

What to keep in mind

reduced torsional rigidity of the body
water leak risk through weld seams
loss of factory-rated safety performance

Our advice: Study the auction photos carefully — look for whether the roof is merely dented or has already been repaired. A car with a repaired roof is typically priced considerably lower.
