My new cabby's electric roof don't work! Have done what the sun visor tells me to do, windows down - aprt from drivers window which doesnt go all the way down for some reason - window jumped most likely - car in park, even handbrake on and engine off but ignition on - the relay in the boot clicks but nothing else.
There doesnt appear to be power to the motor either but no fuses blown.
Is there anotherfuse hidden somewhere aprt from in the fuse box and the tow fuses in the boot with all the gubbins?
There also seems to be some cat littter in the boot, is there any way to check the fluid levels in the hydraulic set up as it may have sprung a leak in the past sometime.

You have to push it well up (from below) at the front - at least 12 inches - before the motor takes over. When mine gets "lazy" it needs pushing up even more. Its always been like that and I've had the car from new (1992). If its a more serious problem 'fraid they're a nightmare to repair - even adjust. Sorry.
