Hi

Convertible roof doesn’t work when pushing buttons when I manually put the roof down I saw some sort of broken cog.

Also when pressing the buttons I can’t hear the motor working.

Any help including how much may cost to fix.

Thanks

Sorry am I missing something here but the last picture looks like the welds have broken.

Gert is your man,

I think the broken part is known as the "chicken drumstick" and you can still get that part or a replacement reinforced section.
