Thank you.. I admit to messing around with the electric roof, but there are other chaps on here that have advised me. No good saying it doesn't work, give us a bit more info and we will be delighted to see if we can offer some advice. :D

Hi gert well mine has not got anything under the horse shoe everything is in the boot on mine there is a big motor and what looks like pipes are in the passenger rear corner of the boot with something bolted up under the rear shelf hope this helps to identify which type I have all that's happening when I push the button to bring it down is there's a clicking type noise coming from the motor but I have a permanent red hood light illuminated on my clocks

Hi, what you described isn't familiar to me, especially the pipes
On the passenger side in the boot. Is this a hydraulic set up... Can you post pics mate?
