hi all, my daughter,s roof does'nt open, open catches on roof but no beeping sound and nothing at all happens, no whirring of motors etc, fuse maybe ? or micro swiches somewhere. Any help much appreciated.

If nothing happens when you open the roof catches I'd guess that a top micro-switch needs attention. Usual trick is to bend it slightly so that it makes contact.

Has it ever worked since she got the car?

been working fine, she used it friday then nothing on saturday, get the noise to say cover is not pulled out, bit that stops when it is pulled over so presume that switch is ok,nothing happens after catches on roof are released, windows dont go down etc.
Just had a look and its possibly micro switch on drivers side roof pillar ad there is no clicking from switch like there is on passanger side, but cannot see how to bend it, thanks
