Presumably its made from fibreglass? I guess the best way to fix it would be to remove the trim, raise the depression with some 2x1 timber supports, floor to roof and lay up some new glass matting with some aluminum flat bar shaped to suit the new shape roof, sandwiched in to support it. Bloody messy job though :shock: , but at least not an expensive one.

And avoid sitting on it in future :twisted:
