Anyone else have a problem with the roof?
I have a 2010 Fit (taffeta white) and noticed after a road trip back from DC to Chicago that the roof is concaved like someone walked over it. When I waxed the car several months ago, I did notice that the sheet metal of the roof is rather thin and weak. With pressure, it pops down and up like Double Trouble board game.
I did try pushing back from the interior ceiling but there are still a few small indentations. And the bigger ones keeps coming back.
Anyone else have this issue? I don't recall having someone walk over the roof or heavy snow fall or carry something heavy on top, etc...
(sorry, don't have pics)

I have a '10 Taffy Sport as well! One night I was dropping my 180 pound friend off at his house after a workout and an unleashed German Shepard came running out of nowhere barking. My friend isn't extremely fond of dogs, especially big dogs, so he decided it was safest to JUMP onto my roof. It wasn't a smart choice because he left 3 dents on my roof. He and my insurance company got my roof filled with Bondo and it looks fine now.
The roof does seem very thin - I noticed that you can pop it up and down like you said. I think the Fit's roof is just thin and I doubt there's anything particularly wrong about your Fit. Don't worry!

I had an '09 BBP... the roof survived multiple car wash passes (touchless) where the blower fans to dry it out banged strong air on the roof - it was definitely flexing to the air for sure too. Really thin roof sheetmetal though.
