sun is shining but roof is broke FIXED FIXED FIXED

Post by tashawxm2014 »

After putting the roof up manually, it now wont go down.
open up to roof latches...get the "bong" windows go down, roof motor kicks in for a few seconds then i get the dreaded beeps. Iv fiddled with the the white U clips and still nothing.
cant afford to go to dealers for a diagnostics test, i know its something so simple but cant find what's up.
any help is greatly appreciated

After reading the posts on this site, I went and played with the white clips, WD'd the roof catches inside the car as they were a bit hard to move and the roof went down. Thank you so much for all the help and advice on these forums. Will let you know if I have any further issues.
