Do not do this! Roof Damage!

My husband was charging the car and ran the cord over the top. This was a bad move! He then decided to get his tennis stuff out of the back. Unbelievably, the cord was sitting in the crack between the top and the rear door and this caused a serious crack in the roof!! So definitely run the cord on the ground. What are the chances of this happening!

...the cord was sitting in the crack between the top and the rear door and this caused a serious crack in the roof!!

Maybe a picture would help me to visualize what happened here.

haha! The same guy that did this deleted the picture! I couldn't find it in the service history either. It was a tennis ball size crack at the seam.

Sounds like closing the hatch with the cord pinched in the gap between the roof and hatch.

Maybe a picture would help me to visualize what happened here.

Or don't have anything in that gap when opening the hatch for that matter.

I just take the extra 10 seconds and run it around the back

I wonder how this area will handle ice, snow, and freezing rain in the winter?
