Hello,

My 320 electric convertible has been parked in a large dry, well lit warehouse in Watford for the last 10 years. Loads of space to work and my extensive tool kit is on site also.

I am seeking the help of a roof expert/Guru who can assess what parts need replacing and then set it up to function as well and reliably as it did when I bought the car almost new back in 1991.

The car is uninsured and I would like to fix it on site.

Thanks in anticipation of a reply.

Post up plenty of pics of the storage compartment showing the rods and linkages. Plenty on here will be able to advise on this to get it running again.

Also, can you describe what the current problem is, ie. It was working and suddenly stopped or it has never worked?...

Cheers.
