When we stopped for fuel we noticed that the roof had detached at the leading edge and was showing signs of peeling back. Suitable corrective measures were taken.
Dinner and bed beckon. With luck, more photos will follow in the near future.

I had the same problem hauling my Pattern 12 home, as soon as the roll back car carrier it 65MPH the Pattern 12 became a convertible, with the roof and back of the cab trying to fold back over the body. Ended up adding two straps over the top and down to the front bumper.
