Had a lot of problems mending my roof what wouldnt open,after testing every switch and sensor(micro switches),it eventually started working !
However,with not knowing exactly what i'd done to repair said roof,and with it operating 4 or 5 times on the trot,I decided it was done ,and leave well alone.
The next morning I went to it to discover...not working !
After trawling various websites,A chap from London had posted that the vehicle needs to be moved after a number of operations..why?Don't know.
So after a trip of 100mts or so,brought it back and hey presto..it worked !
Now,this may or may not be of use to members,but it was something i had not come across on here.
Hope this will assist someone,and I would like to ask the question why is this so ?
Roof mended..a different approach ?

I have never heard that one before, but it wouldn't surprise me. Thanks for your input.
Please let us know how it works long term.

Re: Roof mended..a different approach ?
If that really is a result of code in the roof ECU, it's quite a surprise.
My guess is that, if it is true, it was put in to prevent spoofing the "Do not operate on the move" interlock.
