CF Roof question

When washing the car after getting the car home I noticed that the weave pattern on the front of the roof looks irregular. The clear finish is perfect but during manufacturing it looks like they didn't lay down the mats straight.
So you are getting a darker fold; almost like folded fabric.

CF is obviously used to keep the weight down but also clear coated to show it off.
Now that I saw it I keep on looking at it. Must be an OCD thing

How are your roofs? I assume there is nothing I could do about?

This isn't the best pic. Hope you can see what I am referring to...

My paint correction guy found significant variances in the clear coat thickness,i.e. one spot will be 4.5 and an inch away 1.2, that's not good. There is also a haze when viewed mostly with 3000k enhanced lighting when looking on an angle and into the the direction of the light, otherwise the cc is clear. I am reporting all this to BMW NA just in case.
