Rikz2004 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Tried to open my roof today for the first time this year and it wouldn't open at all. After a few tries opening and closing it's got to the point where it will open almost all the way but get stuck at the point it's trying to compress the roof to then close the flap/lid thing on the rear (so essentially the last bit of opening the roof). Does anyone have any suggestions to fix or know what the issue is? Edited April 25, 2020 by Rikz2004 Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Put the car in the sun with the roof up/closed for an hour and try again. Also is your battery good and fully charged? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is your battery good and fully charged? Thanks will try. I'm not sure how charged it is but I guess it could be a bit low (as I've hardly been driving the car due to lockdown). It's a fairly new battery (less than 2 years old). Whats the best way to charge it without having a charger? Driving around for a bit?

Yeah, that will get a bit of charge into it if you drive with all the electrics off, so there is not a drain. Also keep the revs up when operating the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep the revs up when operating the roof. Just tried this and thankfully opened on the 2nd try. Drove around for half an hour with it open and then closed it again. Thanks so much for the advice, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
