Just noticed 4 small dings right where the roof curves down to the windows, I have a white roof and sunroof, doesn't look like it could have been done from some external force, as there are no outer marks, and they're so small that I can't imagine anything causing that kind of dent.
When cornering or going down curbs/driveways, it does sound like there is a bit of flexing going on in the roof/sunroof area, loud creaks (not rattles) coming from that region..

I don't think this is the same thing as the black roof buckling issue, but I was wondering if this is it's own phenomenon, something to do with the large sunroof, wear and tear, etc. It doesn't appear as if these dents are going to go away after a rain....
