Roof problem
Sorry if this is a question covered, but been searching and cant seem to find it.
When I press the roof down button, it lights up, but nothing happens, was working fine until yesterday.
Is this a sign the motor has gone? If so, anyone know somebody who could fix it for me? I live near Skipton North Yorkshire.
Thanks in advance

Does the roof unlatch, do the windows drop? If not, then have you moved the parcel shelf in the boot to the upper position? The boot micro switch needs to be triggered for the roof process to start.

Hi.
I am having the same issue. Roof was working fine on Wednesday. Today when I press the button, it lights up but nothing happens, windows stay up - no noise, nada. I have tried the moving the parcel shelf up & down, but still nothing. Any ideas ?
Thanks

What colour light are you getting on the switch ?
If Red - you r motors dead,
If Orange, lower the Parcel shelf by rotating the two large knobs at either side in the boot
