Unhappy with my Thar's hardtop roof build quality: Shatters rear glass

I have zero complaints about the SUV otherwise.

Hi, I am a young automotive enthusiast and own the new Mahindra Thar 4x4 which I purchased late in 2022. A natural calamity occurred, causing materials such as shutters and a 3.5-inch pipe to fall on my hardtop due to heavy wind and rain.

It is understandable for the vehicle body to sustain damages and the glass to break, but seeing the hardtop get cut like a cake really showed the build quality of my vehicle. I have zero complaints about the vehicle, except for the hard top's build quality.

Have claimed insurance, but who will compensate me for the items and accessories in my vehicle? At the time of the incident, my vehicle had a lot of expensive items inside the car such as a subwoofer and multiple personal belongings. Had to bear the loss myself.

Here's what BHPian Axe77 had to say on the matter:

It seems like only the glass section has broken and the panels are 'damaged'. Where is the hard top roof cut / broken, is not quite apparent from these pics. Depending on the severity of the incident I'm not sure whether or not the damage is indeed disproportionate.

Here's what BHPian batish had to say on the matter:

If you look closely, you'll realise the hard top is broken. Whatever fell on it just cracked it. Since it is one piece I suppose it would have to be changed fully.
