Roof panels replaced (issues)

I have a 2016 Viking V12RBST and I just hard the roof panels replaced. One of them was warped and that then damaged the other roof panel every time it opened up by gouge into to the inside ceiling panel. They were covered under warranty.

I'm kicking myself for not opening it up before I left the dealer ( i was just happy to get it after they had for 6 months. When I got home it was crazy hard to open now. It's almost a two person job to open now. It's going back to the dealer today.

Not only that but it is starting to gouge the top ceiling panel just like the old one did. This weekend when opening it up it jumped out of alinement by about 4 inches. I wish I would have taken photos but I was worried about get in downed set up correct.


Has anyone else had issues where they had to have the roof panels replaced.

Check and make sure they didn't forget to install the springs on the replacement panel

That is what it feels like.

Not to be pessimistic, but it sounds as if the problems are more than the roof panels. I suggest you call FR to escalate the attention they give to your problem.
