I know of an AWI that pinged a poor 300 hour pilot for having a ripped roof lining. It was not hanging down or obstructing the cabin, just a small rip probably cause by a fishing rod or something similar. The AWI made it very clear that it was a defect and needed to be endorsed on the MR.
Correctly so. If it was not on the MR how would anyone know it required repair.

Lets also not forget that if there is any open entry on the MR the aircraft can not fly, it is grounded. Why do people insist that a pilot can ignore a defect written on the MR?

Read CAR 47(1) and (1A).

So if you can enter a " NAD " qualified item on the MR without effecting the flight legalities why not use the Snag Book
