Are these wear marks normal?
In need of some feedback as to if these marks are normal. 2015 cooper s Convertible pirchased 6 mos ago as a CPO. Since I’ve had it, I wash by hand with Raggtopp cleaner and protectant. Couldn’t find any forum posts about the roofs for the more recent body style cabrios. Thanks in advance!

Completely normal. If there were none I would get all snarky about you never running the head down at all and wonder why you purchased a drop-head in the first place. That is caused by the fabric polishing the opposite fold. This question has come up before and someone suggested using a soft brush to 'raise' the mat of the fabric. Mine has shiny spots all over the back 'cause I hardly ever run the top up. I've posted my 4 reasons for top up operation elsewhere so here they are again.
1. It is raining
2. It is snowing
3. My co-pilot is whining loudly about being too hot or too cold and I can't hear the supercharger.
4. Some drunks are throwing empty beer cans in the back seat and didn't invite me.

Normal, I treated my top once to twice a year and it helped reduce those but you will still get tiny compression marks. I used a horsehair brush after treatment and then some people place towels when opening the top
