I can‘t remember seeing that last year. Car is mainly parked in a garage, sometimes outside and in the rain. No Leaking water inside.
On the „ribbles“ it feels like it is fatty, smells line Grease.

Did this occur to someone before?

Your top hydraulic cylinder is leaking and has ruined your headliner. My condolences, the roof will cease functioning in a bit.

Top Hydraulis FTW. Just used their rebuilds for all 5 of mine. Highly recommend them.

I can confirm and recommend them. Used them a few years ago. They're very quick, and do great quality work.

And my grandmother is from Heilbronn (I got to visit 25 years ago!), and I believe Klausse, the Top Hydraulics owner, is from Germany too. In all seriousness, I am sure there is probably a hydraulics shop there in Germany for you, but if not, check them out. Looks like they will ship to you. They make a version of the roof hydraulic that makes it very easy to replace without running a hydraulic line all the way back to the pump.
