Having looked at the different sorts of non manul roof available, i can say that mine is not electric mechanical but an electric hydraulic roof.

A eh roof that doesnt work!

The switch works, the motor clicks, but nothing moves.

No fuses blown, relays in place, motor does just click tho, like a stuck starter motor.

Anybody any ideas?

Is the fluid top upable and if so, what do i use and does it need bleeding like a brake system and the final question, how do you beeld it!

Thanks for looking!

Hello mate I to have a roof like this that dont work, Can u hear like a pump hum noise from the rear when u hold the switch, if not i would say its the electric motor, I have a spare pump and ECU bit and some solinoids too, let me know if i can be of ane help.

Also check all the microswitches when u open the hood at the top to put it down do u get a red flashing light come up on the dash, this should stay on constant when holding the switch.
