Hi, I've had my van 10 years, the roof open warning light was on when I bought it, and it's happily blinked away for 10 years odd.
The roof opening button has been a bit temperamental recently. Sometimes it takes a minute before it decides to open/close. It also has a problem opening fully, sometimes the roof needs a little nudge to fully extend.
At the weekend the situation deteriorated, in that the bleeping didn't stop when I closed the roof. I assumed the issue was that I hadn't opened the roof fully before closing it again - I was putting a mattress up there before leaving - so I duly opened it fully until the bleeping stopped, and closed it again. No fix. Tried this a few more times and gave up. I made the trip to Plymouth with a loud bleeping noise going. Great for stopping me from nodding off. Not great for the nerves.
Now I'm assuming the worst and that bongy will have to go to the doctor, but if there's any secret knowledge that anyone can share at this point I'd like to hear it!
Thanks
Stu

There are two limit switches at the front that detect when the sliders are fully home into the locking shrouds, one puts out the light one puts out the beeping so it sounds like both need adjusting see the images on the link below;

Thanks Geoff, I've actually dropped it at the garage to have a look at this for me. Saves me a job...
