Snow and CF roof?

Hey NE folks, anyone w E92M w cf roof drive their car in the winter? I am in the market for one and CF has been a must have but I just realized that I plan on driving my car during in winter and my car will be parked outside. I’m wondering if the roof will for sure get damaged - specially scratched up from cleaning snow even if I use plastic scrapers. Thanks for any input.

Plastic scrapers are like evil for our paint and CF parts .
Yes . You can drive it in the winter .I don't , because I avoid road salt.

Use a scrapper for windows only. You use a foam snow broom for the rest of the car.

*No scraper* on your CF roof or paint . Use a car de-icer spray on your windshield when you remove your windshield protection cover (anti-freeze cover for windshield)

Don't touch the ice on your CF roof ...

Use any old shovel to scrape it off the car. I'm not sure what that guy Phil is so worried about. Trust me a rounded or flat steel shovel is fine.
