:cool: I am sure many of you have have been down this road before. The electric roof has not worked on my cab from the day one. My intention was to fix it one day but three years later still not done !!!
Now the days are longer and the sun is trying to come out I am ready for the challenge. Can anyone advise on were to start ?

I think Gert_8 is the man to speak to as he had been trying to figure out all the components to get his working.

Hi Kay,

Before we can get the roof working again, we need to understand why it stopped working. You state it's never worked from day one...this could be due to quite a few problems, eg, fuses, connections, motors, bent levers etc.

Can you provide any more information. Pics would be good, too. Have you had a look at the storage compartment? Is the main motor (this is the one on the right hand side, when view from the boot) intact?
