I don't know about the rest of you and I still have yet to have a VIN for my FJ. However, if the roof leaks it is going straight back to the dealer and they will remove, and replace, the headliner, roofrack, etc., until it is fixed. I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but in Florida's harsh environment, when something gets wet the mold will definately follow. Down here we get the nasty, respiratory irritating, sometimes deadly, black mold. The heck if we're going to spend that kind of money, and we're getting a decent discount, on a problem we have to fix ourselves. In addition, we're not going to drive a "sick vehicle" that was water damaged.

If I lived in Florida it would have a new headliner already, however I do not live in Florida...the humidity in my area is 24% right now, and that is on a cloudy day. I haven't ever seen mold around here except for green stuff on cheese. We get about 15 inches of rain a year and the FJ lives in the garage (but I plan on getting the entire interior a lot wetter and muddier than a leaky roof could ever dream of!). It was probably a fluke that I identified the problem already. The leaky roof was identified two weeks ago, I've had the FJ for 10 weeks.
Nothing was done that would even come close to invalidating a warranty. As I stated earlier I removed the roof rack so I would know what I was talking about when I did go to the dealer to fix the problem, I doubt they know anything about it yet. Thinking I had identified the problem I added some rubber to the leak points, didn't work...now it's at the dealer.
As far as having the dealer tear the $hit out of my car every time I have a perceived problem, that's just dumb and inconvenient...if it turns out to be a real problem then by all means...
