Bowser moved mine to the boot a couple of years back. It seems to be quieter (marginally) when opening and closing too.

Awesome, mine is starting to sound like it is struggling so I would like to get it sorted before it does fail. Have you ever manually operated the roof? I might need to learn if it does die :)

Hi and welcome by the way! :thumbsup:

"bowser134" is the nearest to you - he's in Hampshire (Yateley I think). Otherwise it's "Number 5", but he's in the Bristol area!
