Carbon fiber roof chip repair?

k_mann · 07-19-2019, 09:18 AM

First of all, these carbon roofs are pretty freakin tough! I heard a thunk on my roof getting on the highway today, enough to make me jump! I thought my roof took a nasty hit, but come to find out it was just a fracture (see below).

After inspecting I found a couple more. What's weird is they don't appear to be chips but more so a fracture I guess. Like the coating and fibers separated a bit but no chip went through the coating?

So my thoughts are do I even worry? I don't want it to spread, would possibly taping them off and letting epoxy sit on top to see if it drains in work? Sorry I'm anal I know!

For the chip, you can use the BMW paint stick clear since it's pretty small. Those scratch marks aren't big, they should buff out with a small amount of rubbing compound, then polish and seal the area afterwards.

OP, did you ever get this fixed? Results?

Bump. Also interested in OP's results

I have not sorry guys. I might give it a go later this year as I'm considering selling the vehicle. I'm thinking a low viscous boat epoxy in a syringe might seep in to them
