Default roof reliability

i looking to buy a 2004 sc430... i am very impressed with the car, but wondering if the convertible top mechanism/roof is reliable. I've had convertibles in the past and they can be pain to maintain. Net-net, are SC430's known for having problems in this area?

tks in advance,

sc430 is rated as one of the m ost reliable cars. the car has been out since 01 (as 02 model), i have yet to hear one case where the roof failed. i have heard some problems on rattling and such, but they are all fixed and they are in early yrs.

and also, there is a thread about this a while ago:
