I have just brought a cab and the roof don't work it's electric
But when pushing the buttons nothing happens. You can put the
Roof down manually but the roof cover don't lock in... Both motors are in the boot. There's a lose wire on left side of the boot that looks like it should be connected to something..
Does any body no what I can try..

I ff can open it manually I bet its like in mine, motors are disengaged/ removed from what they should rotate... Mine is a mess as well, I dont even know how to start to troubleshoot it... Bought it like that.

They are NOT a pain in the arse, they are a work of art, which unfortunately has a well known weakness, which can be addressed.

Cheers will look in to this the weekend.
Also at the back by the seats you can see right through the roof should this be pulled in closer to the body
Are should you be able to a see through it like mine..
