Just bought a 2003 206 cc, roof worked but seems to take its time to start to open.
Now roof will not open. Have the car turned on undo the roof clips and there is no noise bong (also when the roof did work and came back up the windows never come up automatically)
I therefore think its one of the micro switches in the windscreen post.
Can you get to these with out pulling the roof back and do you have to take off the side trim?
How do you test the switch is it just to test open and close off the switch?
Does anyone think its is the micro switch in the windscreen post?

Re: Roof stuck shut
hi the windows arent ment to come back up automatically you have to put them up when roofs finished its cycle,have you made sure the tray is closed in the boot?

Ok good to know, tray is in correct place.
If you don't put tray in correct place I get a beep which is a good sign.
But at the moment no noise no movement!
