SubscriberMine lives outside and no paint issues thus far, having the panoramic roof limits the painted surface area.

SupporterThe clearcoat on the roof is damaged, but the rest of the car is ok. I might get the roof resprayed one day after the important issues have been addressed (aircon, suspension bushes etc)

SubscriberMy D3 has a UV affected roof, from its Darwin days. It hasn't caused any issues.

Dropped it off this afternoon to be repaired. Unfortunately the plastic pipes for the rear heater are not able to be procured so the rear heater will be isolated so that only the front works. Rarely have people in the rear two rows and even in the Dry when it sometimes gets below 10 of a morning, once past 8am in it back in the 20s outside anyway.
Cheers, Dale
