I'd go as far as to say "like most retractable hardtops"
They *have* to be wrong, if the roof's going to fit the boot - unless you
add more hinges (and therefore shutlines/possible leaks). The Merc SL's
about the only one that works - and the roof on that's origami round the
rear window...

SLK roof is the same. The most common fault with it is the belts that
control the bits of the parcel shelf coming off.
The Mazda MX5 hard top has gone for squarer lines so less parts have to move
which also makes it a bit faster to fold.
I dread my roof jamming as I can't see any manual winding mechanism.
It probably won't ever jam but I do wonder about it.
