Roof not going all the way up

[Hanksy]

Hello,

My roof has started to not go all the way up it stops about an inch away from the top but keeps beeping so i have to give it a helping hand, does anyone know why this is happening, i don't have any roof bars etc

Thanks
Stu

Common fault, a lot of bongo owners have the same problem including me, the gentle nudge is all thats needed to lock it upright.
Try using silicon grease/spray on the runners that sometimes works.

Following the advice from someone else on the forum I solved this problem by leaving the tent sides unzipped.
I also stopped the groaning and juddering by cleaning the runners (as much as I could) with white spirit, then treating them with Wynn's Silicon Spray.
