To sign "roof," start with both hands in flat handshapes in front of your head, with your fingertips touching to form an upside-down "V" shape. Move both hands diagonally downward and outward, tracing the shape of a pitched roof. Your palms should be facing downward and slightly inward throughout the motion.
To sign this, start by signing "cat," then sign "roof" by tracing the pitched shape, and finish by placing one hand on the back of the other to sign "on."
Begin by pointing between yourself and the listener for "we," sign "need" with a hooked index finger, sign "fix," and conclude with the sign for "roof."
Set the context by signing "house," then sign "red" by brushing your index finger down your chin, and finally trace the shape of the "roof" in the air.

They start out very similarly, but they are different. For 'house,' you trace the roof and then continue the motion by bringing your hands straight down to trace the walls. For 'roof,' you only trace the top sloped section and stop.
Yes, your fingertips should touch or come very close together at the top to form the peak of the roof before you move your hands downward and outward.
Usually, the roof of a car is signed by simply tapping the top of a flat hand or by fingerspelling R-O-O-F. The standard sign for 'roof' implies a pitched house roof, which doesn't visually match a car.
