Roof issues

[ronk]

I never operate the roof on my 35is without me in the car and the engine running. I can't see the use case of why anyone would do otherwise?

On a hot summer’s day opening the roof before getting to or in the car let’s the interior cool down and is also easier to get in

Especially so when you’ve got dodgy legs

Following quite a bit of driving over the weekend , Roof operation seems to have returned to normal - works off fob and opening sequence has sped up - gonna get the battery checked this next week and make sure the Zed gets more of a run each week - thanks for all help and advice

That sounds like a key fob battery issue where there is not enough juice in the key fob for a sustained press and transmission to the car. You driving a lot over the weekend charged it up.

It may be but..I see that the main pump runs a 40 amp fuse..that's quite a draw..with a sagging, aged battery , it could all start well but the 'puters may intervene as the voltage rail sags and halt proceedings..without a real time analyser you will never know..

There are so many weird interactions on these cars...

If the battery was completely dead, how do we get in if locked out.
The key i suppose, but thinking about it in 7 years of ownership i have never tried to use the key to get in.

I wonder if the system is programmed not to operate the boot if the battery is low.
