Fixed my motor problems with making one of them plates.
But when i press the button to open the roof the horse shoe wont go up all the way.

The roof never worked since i`ve had the car so i dont know if its been messed with in any way.
Has any one got a pic of what the mechanism looks like when the shoe is up?
This is what mine looks like but i dont think its in the right position?

A little update, i turned the arm the other way and it just did the cables the same only the other way round.
So i took it off all together just to see if the lid would open and it did :) and the hole roof closed nicely
But when the shoe opened it caught a little bit on the roof and wouldnt lift unless i pulled a little on the rear of the roof,so i adjusted the longer rod(one turn) to try and give it lift it a bit more.Like a knob i lengthend it instead of sortening it......Then this happened :x :cry:

So i`m proper pi**ed!!!!!!!!
A trip to Halliwell then :( If you can still get the end piece?

you can still buy the gold bit that screws onto the bar and bolts to the roof, not too pricey from what I remember but think it is a german order i.e. has to be shipped from there so will be a few days wait.
