Think carefully before you do this. The expertise to sort out your electric room is on the zone, and converting your roof to manual will seriously devalue your car if its a good one.

You may not know where to start, and neither do I (having no experience of electric roofs), but we have Gert_8 as a member on here, who knows all there is to know about these.
You could try a PM to him, pointing him to this thread, but in the meantime, use the 'search function' to look for the many previous threads on this subject.

Hi Driverstu, I'll be glad to offer any help I can to get your roof working again, but the best thing you can do is take pics of the roof storage compartment showing the rods and linkages. Also a pic of both motors from the boot compartment. You will have to remove the fibre cover first.
From what you have stated, all I can understand is that nothing works....
Oh, thanks to Brian, but there are several other zoners that can also help, so between us we should be able to help, I hope!

You have to get an image hosting account with someone like Photobucket.
www.photobucket.com.
Once an account has been set up, you can upload images to the site. Once these are done, you need to copy the IMG codes from there to this site, pasting on the thread.
It's relatively simple, but a pain in the butt, however....
