Carbon fiber roof clear coat damage
Thoughts and options? Who can fix this kind of damage? It's all the way down to the carbon fiber

Search around. There have been a couple of threads on this kind of damage and how it was fixed. General consensus is that it's best to remove all of the clear coat and gel coat and have it completely redone. Once it yellows and separates in one place it just spreads across the whole roof.

Sand out all the damage and re clear the entire roof. Sounds easy and it is. Again guys that don't mess with it think it's a magical and mysterious product. |

The problem people keep thinking is that the clear-coat will be sunk/eaten by the carbon weaving. But because the carbon has already been treated with resin, it is stiff and no longer eat the clear. So sanding it down completely with 400 grit won't be an issue, once you see a matte look of the carbon fiber, its time to apply a triple clear pass.
