Emergency roof repair

[be1t0n]

I’m currently on a site (about to leave) and had to manually lower the roof (electric) because of a button failure on the control panel.

I’ve no issue replacing the button but is there anything else needed to get the roof functional again? Is it just a case of tightening the screw back up?

Yes. Whatever you do don’t unscrew the screw too much as it’s a captive screw and may not go back correctly.
Just screw back in once roof is down. Fix Control Panel button and everything should be back to normal.
You can check for any Diagnostic Codes and clear them once everything back and sorted, but probably will not be any codes.

Check Control Panel Diagnostics.

Control Panel Off and wait 30 secs

Control Panel On

Press and Hold R lower button and then press Control Knob for 5 secs.

New Hidden Menu . Scroll to VW Diagnostics.

If there are any codes shown, take note and then Reset/Clear.

Return to Main Menu.

Switch Off Control Panel using L lower button. Wait 30 secs and Switch On.

Try Roof/Heater or Fridge

Is it worth mentioning to make sure you travel with the emergency tie-down kit attached?
