Just been away in my Van which is less than 12 months old and having put roof up my wife noticed it was only halfway up on one side, i recycled the roof which made some strange noises and having got it fully up went for a walk with the dog. Returned a few hours later and it had sagged again on same side. recoiled it down and up again and this time it stayed up overnight. Have had it up and down a few times since and no problems.
anyone else had similar problem?

I had one or the rams replaced within days of buying it new. SMG replaced it. All fine now.
 
Mine did it a couple of times when new but it has cured itself.
 
I have spoken to my dealer they are going to change the rams as a precaution as its under warranty.

Looking at the picture....

Had mine lowering a bit , few cm in a few days time once but thats a freaky sight to see!

The strud on that side must have a failure somehow....
