The early ones, not sure if the later ones had the same issue or not, (I had an early one so knew), did have an issue with the cables for the roof. On each side is a kind of stop end, which is a crimped on stop which the car can sense and hence stop powering the hood moving.
They could come off and then the cable would pull through. It was a very expensive repair, from memory over a grand at BMW
A fix was to liquid metal the stops back in place.
I always wondered if the issue could have been made worse by using the roof whilst moving, you could use it upto from memory 30kph, i preferred to stop personally just to reduce any stresses as much as possible
Gearboxes on very early supers, but they would likely all/virtually all have been fixed by warranty
Power steering pumps could be a bit flaky
Roofs were pretty leakproof but assuming people actually did the weatherproofing. most didnt. I assume by now sensible priced replacement materials are available
They did also have an issue with exploding rear screens during frosts. Again if you were going to get this issue I assume it would have happened long ago by now, but could maybe be an issue if a replacement rear screen was fitted
