Hi Tede,

I figured out the roof sequence recently, and it sounds like the control system does not realise the boot lid is fully open. There is a little microswitch beside the hydraulic actuator in the boot lid (under the cover), which gets oprated by the edge of a bracket as the boot lid opens. If this switch is faulty (or the wiring to it has become damaged) then the control system will not start opeing the roof.

See my other recent posting about roof control sequence, for more explanation.

The other possibilities are faulty hydraulic valve or cylinder, which are less likely, and more difficult to repair.

Good luck!
