HiMay seem like a strange question, but whilst cleaning my Evoque I put my hand on the roof and the roof dipped in, last car had a pano roof so not sure if this is normal? Does any body know if there roof on a 5 door is very flexible?

this is normal on most cars without a pano/sun roof.Its a thin sheet of metal over the top of the car.

just dont push down so hard otherwise you'll permanently dent the roof.

Never mind side steps, just a stepladder that you can put away after use!!!and therefore keep the evoque looking good!

Just sayin'

As majeric says this is normal - well mine does it...!
It's not like other LRs I've had/got - but the roof certainly flexes when cleaning it.

When I bought my RRE I wanted to avoid a pano roof as I've heard so many 'cracked' stories!

Pano roof though

I have the glass panoramic roof, but solid roof owners say the roof is made of aluminum sheeting and makes a lot of noise when it rains.

Sounds as though it is not that tough either, if it can bend by the OP laying a hand on it

No that's a cdv!
These brushes are good, you stand more chance scratching your car leaning over it or standing on steps or sills in my opinion, a wee wobble on some steps and a dink,as long as I you take of excessive dirt first and keep clean shouldn't pose a problem in my opinion!
Will leave Spider-Man to work out cdv , can picture him scratching head

Its an in-line filter box - The CD5 is a single phase high powered version which is worth having
