Don't forget to apply this to the roof when it is fully down. Don't stop it half way. I speak from experience !!!!

We have had our silver 1.6cc for a year but sadly it is now time to sell up as we have too many cars and my son needs a car that will seat 4 adults to get him and his mates to rugby. It is on Ebay item nos 333306078701. Silver 1.6cc with GTI wheels and 89K miles. A big thank you to all on here for t...

So am driving the car and accelerate away from a roundabout and suddenly exhaust gets loud and there is banging noise. Exhaust had separated at the junction between the cat and the rest of the exhaust. Use webbing straps to support exhaust and manage to get home. On further investigation it looks li...

Welcome. Lots of things to fix is usually the way it is with a 206cc

Always seems a bit strange when someone replies to a post that is 4yrs old

yes. always tend to do roof and windows with engine running. It really is a bit of a first world problem though

Yep. It has been lubricated and all close perfectly if done one at a time. If both done at the same time the voltage drop seems to lead to the occasional early stopping of one of the rears.

Can you go in through the number plate light hole. That is what I have done in the past. Cut a groove in the light to give clearance.

Try lubricating all the joints on the boot. There will be a microswitch that is triggered when the boot is fully open. It seems your problem is in the boot not opening far enough to trigger this. Good job the switch is there because the roof itself might catch on the boot if it is not open enough.

If we are using the running analogy!! If I do both of mine at the same time sometimes one of my rear windows falls at the final hurdle and doesn't get over the finish line. The front one then charges off before the baton is passed therefore being disqualified. :) If the windows are done Separately t...

is cover pulled across in the boot? might be the micro switch on that.

I find if I try to close both at once then it all goes pair shaped

Well the MOT will be complete tomorrow. It has needed two new wishbones at the front. I knew it would need the drivers side as it had a clunk and it felt lose coming out of corners. The second one was a surprise and might have been the difference between doing the MOT and selling the car. At the poi...

Well today it was in for pre-MOT. I asked them to look at bushing on front drivers as had a clunk and was loose on tight bends. Also back exhaust was blowing. all fixed so MOT tomorrow AM. Here's Hoping!!!!

Result. Mine due start of next month. Not looking forward to it!!
