Roof won't close!!

Post by bongoroy63 » Wed Jun 18, 2014 11:23 am

Put my roof up this morning and now it won't come down. I put it up then went to close it but realised the loft hatch was closed so I then put it back up again. It now won't come down. There isn't even the bleeping sounding to let me know the roof is up with the engine running. Any ideas please..?

With engine running Press release button actually in roof itself. Then should start beeping, then press button on cab roof to start lowering. It goes down in two stages . If that does not work check handbrake is fully on.

You'll find it closes easier with the hatch open as it lets the air out of the roof without pushing the roof tent out. It also allows you to get some daylight inside from the skylight.
