Finally with the decent weather I got the first chance to try and put the roof down. All the electrics work and it worked well but it seems to fold the roof down onto the top of the rear seats....what could be causing that????
It means that the horse shoe cannot close.

or does anyone have any pictures of the folding in stages so that I can compare.

I think this is caused by the roof folding out, rather than in - at the top section. I've read a thread on here on how to fix this by crimping the straps that run the length of the roof, on either side.
This should fold the roof in the correct direction and stop it catching the read headrests.
I'll see if I can find the link for you.

thanks mate that is a brilliant link. Mine is definitely folding completely the wrong way!! God knows when the weather will be good enough to have another try but will update when it does.
