Hi all

I managed to shear the mechanism which raises the horseshoe and latches it down from the motor drive. I’ve unlatched the motor and can see the splines are all in tact.

I’ve ordered a replacement crank (the part which attaches to the motor inside the horseshoe box) but can’t see from realOEM how they are attached. I’m also unsure how I’ll get the sync right bearing in mind when I’ll have access to the mechanism given the roof/lid position.

Has anyone done this before and can they provide any guidance?
