Roof Failure

Got in my car, sun shining so thought hey! I'll go topless. Pushed the magic button roof went down then no beep to confirm all systems happy, just lots of groaning then beeping constantly!!. Tried putting it up and there was a gap!!

Rang KAP ~ reception helpful got a mechanic to call me, but he said he didn't know about roofs he's just a mechanic!!

Rang NORTHGATE ~ very helpful, suggested I come in right away! It was there at 9.20 and they called 12.00 to say its complete.

I believe it was the sensor which said when the roof was up or down!! I don't care its fixed and all thanks to
JASON ~ NORTHGATE, ASHFORD. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.

Paul i've missed the story, i remember the photos of the mangled roof, was that your car and what happened.

I hope you weren't using it to crush coke cans! (Britboy??!)

Hate to admit to this but I think its broken again!!! Tell you the truth actually rather scared of trying it now, to the annoyance of my boyfriend.

If you unclip then start the engine does it beep to warn you the clips are undone? If so, its kaput again which means a day off work to resolve the problem why don't mehanics work Saturdays!!!
