AFT bleep alarm - odd behaviour

Post by TerryG » Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:17 pm

The AFT bleeper periodically refuses to stop when the roof is raised, even when I shove the roof up manually. I've just discovered that when this happens, if I then press the 'lock' button then press the raise button again, the bleep stops.
Anyone else experienced this? I thought the button only came into play when lowering the roof.

At this time of year, the roof material is stiffer - this can stop the roof going fully up. Make sure the zips are undone and, if necessary, lower the roof a few inches and re-raise it.

I would look at the limit switch at the rear not being tripped properly. There are two at the front, to make sure its correctly down both sides, one half way on the nearside for the stop at mid point check, and then the final limit switch at fully raised at the rear offside, fiddly to get to I think you will find.
