Rool bar touches the rear window.... shouldn't do this really should it? the drivers side does, while the passenger has a good 5mm clearance...

roof also doesnt go down... it gets all the way to the part where the boot lid closes over the top of everything and goes no futher... off into the garage tomorrow and they are going to have a look if they have time :!:

The problem with the roof was that part of the rubber came away... which they fixed, but it's happened again.

The roll over bar touching the window... that was because a lefthand bar was fitted to the righthand side...

Same subject, different problem. On Saturday, the roof made a horrible noise as it disappeared into the boot. I put it back up again and investigated.

The plastic bar in the boot was hanging off and the metal screw had come out - simple put back on job and all sorted. Phew!

It's worth checking that neither screws are loose - doesn't seem to have scratched or damaged anything fortunately. :)

And the roof is still working fine - though occasionally it doesn't 'bing' when its finished going up or down. Anyone else had that? :?

Hi Nyk,

Along with the driver's window - sounds like its gonna run out of battery!! :lol:

And when the roof finally falls into the boot or back into roof up position - its like it flopping onto a sofa!! Yeah..can't be bothered sums it up!

But we still love our cc's don't we!! :lol:

Mine sometimes doesn't "bing" and I mentioned it on this site a few weeks ago and was told that it can be if it's parked on a slight slope. Funnily enough, since I mentioned it on here, it's not happened - shame all the problems don't get solved that way!!! Like you though, I'm still loving the car a ridiculous amount!

I think it would be good if we could choose a sound file to play instead of the `bing'. Something like `We're outta here.....' :lol: 8)
