Roof Repairs

For those that have a roof that's jammed there is  a hole under the rear window with  a screwdriver slot that you can use to open or shut the roof if the electrics stop working, if any one needs help on replacing the winding cables which jump and screw the roof off centre causing it to jam, I have just paid 78,11euros for the two cables,  the sliders were170,83 euros for both sides,  then get in touch as I have just replaced mine but you do need to have time and some mechanical ability,

ADD to the above. There is another way to fix the roof thats by removing the plastic, covering the rear winding mechanism, then remove the three large screws and the 4th small screw from the drive  motor and pull out, this will expose the drive gear that sits in between the cables, remove this by just prising up one of the cables just enough to remove it, this will allow the roof to move firmly but not loosely, if the roof is jammed then this is the only way, the sliders are just on spring loaded pins or clips so there will be tension when trying to move the roof but this should allow you to close the roof if jammed open, Bry

ONLY use Silicon Grease on the sliders and gear wheel, any thing else at your Peril
