I'm trying to manually close the roof in order to drive home (the roof broke in a travel far from home ).
I managed to manually close the roof following the procedure described in videos and instructions but I cannot properly close the boot cover. If I close the boot cover switching the white lids to manual closing position, the boot cover closes loosely and the car constantly beeps while driving as if the roof weren't closed. The instructions magically goes from from "white lids on manual closing position" (boot cover loosely closed) to "restore white lids to automatic position"
This issue was covered in a thread pinned in this subforum named "Last steps in closing/resetting the roof manually" (sorry, I cannot post urls) where user dtm posted:
But that method relies oh the roof electronics to complete the closing and my electronics are fried... Any ideas on how to completely close the boot cover without the electronics?dtm wrote: Anyway, I think there are two missing steps after you follow the instructions.
The instructions stop after you set the two white U hooks over to the manual position and then it tells you to close the boot.
When I did this, the boot was closed, but the car detected that the roof was still opened and gave a constant "beep" when driving.
Anyway, I believe the final steps of the procedure is;
1. Set the two white U hooks into the manual position.
2. Pull the blind in boot out and latch to the extended position.
3. Close the boot.
4. Start the car
5. Press the roof switch down (close roof). You will hear a 'click' in the boot as the electronic locks will LOCK.
6. Open the boot
7. Reset the two white U hooks back to the normal position (nearest to the boot lid). Make sure you set those white hooks in properly. The action is PULL OUT, TWIST to new position, PUSH IN to the new position to lock. You may have to wiggle those white hooks a little.
I know I'm long winded... but hopefully the above info will help someone.
After that the boot is fully reset...and in the case of my brother in law's car..... fully functional again!!
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.
