Roof motor problems

Post by JPO100 » Mon Sep 06, 2021 5:57 pm

Hello,

I have a 2006 e85. The roof appears to be struggling.. today it sounded like the motor strained and then gave up. I left it for 10 mins and came back and just about got enough out of it to close it and lock it in place. Then it seemed to go again.

I was wondering if there is anyone on the forum that repairs motors or even replaces / relocated them, if that’s what is needed.

I’m based near Manchester but can travel if needs be.

Many thanks in advance

John

Durham Dave repairs/relocates roof motors for a bargain price, he charged me £80 to relocate to the boot although that was several years ago now.
Use the search function & it should bring up some info :thumbsup:

Thanks Rob. When I search I see lots of post confirming how great Dave is with this problem 🙂 but I don’t see him as a user or anyway to contact him.

Could anyone help?

Many thanks
