Urgent Roof stopped working whilst closing

[neilscott]

My 2010 SE roof has stopped working 1/2 open and won’t either go up or down ? Any ideas …. I can hear the pump working and non-obvious leak ? Thx

Did you have the engine running whilst operating the roof?
You could try a control panel reset.

There's a thread somewhere.

Changing roof elevating jack ( roof dropping on one side )

Re: Changing roof elevating jack ( roof dropping on one side I was wondering if there was anyone who could repair these pumps? Seems such a waste to throw them away?

If it’s stuck 1/2 open you need to use the “emergency“ release to override the pump. The process is in the handbook and in a number of threads… try searching ”pump release screw”.

Thanks manges to get the roof lowered and secured and home …. The manual is a croc of poop but eventually got sorted before the AA arrived amazing what you can do with a chopped up credit card, spoon, wine bottle opener, para cord and a by bike inner tube !

If you are able to describe what you did and how, it will help others in a similar pickle. Glad you got it sorted and back home.
