top problems...

Post by kunta » Mon Dec 03, 2018 10:06 am

Good Morning
I installed the top after I repaired the pistons(top hydraulic). I moved the pump into the trunk. Everything works. But the roof did not go all the way down,
(5cm gap) the red lamp flashed. I tried the roof outside the car and everything worked. Any ideas ??? Thanks

I’ve heard the way the roof folds either side of the rear window can effect the closing ability, you do mean as the roof lowers, right? :?

Do you have a photo of the problem, most roofs have gaps when parked

I know ... that's not the problem. The gaps very big(5 cm). And the red lamp flashes. An indication that the roof did not finish the operation
