Re: Boot not closing when roof is in the boot!

What exactly is on that lever?
Is it some sort of rubber boot?

Re: Boot not closing when roof is in the boot!

Fixed!!! Such a stupid issue. The lever under the shelf ram that activates roof down switch. That lever wasn't coming up high enough to activate the switch! I assume there should be some type of plastic fitting over the end of it which I am missing hence why it was unable to activate the switch. Car...

I do belie...

Re: Boot not closing when roof is in the boot!

Seems to be Ian.
I see someone's been at the boot door loom with lots of pvc tape from front to back an I don't like the look of that.
It's left me wondering what part the boot ram switch plays in the sequence

Re: Boot not closing when roof is in the boot!

So....removed pump solenoid and tested it and it's working.
So...it seems like my solenoid is not getting any power to make it open in order to close the boot and activate the parcel shelf.
Headache!!!!

Re: Boot not closing when roof is in the boot!

Yeh
Maybe a little light tap with a hammer around the valve may free it up.....if it is stuck.
I've checked all switches,relays,cleaned plugs,checked wires and all checks out good so the valve is my final check

Re: MY ROOF ONLY OPENS HALFWAY HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Having same issue on my cc!
Can get to the point the roof is in the boot but the boot lid will not close and parcel shelf won't eject!
Can hear the pump change pitch at this point then ten seconds later...the ECU safety turns the pump off.
Going to test my roof switch to see if it's faulty
