Roof is 'sticking' when opening.

Several times now I have come to open the roof and it starts the sequence, but then stops. It seems to get 'stuck' for want of a better word, as if the catches haven't quite unlocked.

If you press upwards very gently, this is enough to get it going and then the rest it does itself.

Is this just a matter of greasing the metal clasps or a sign of the bloody roof motor going?

EDIT: Search threw up this:

On checking the latches on the front of the roof frame and slots and rollers on the windscreen top rail they were very dry. Having soaked the latches, fittings and all the roof frame pivot points in lube it’s working fine now. Phewwww! :)

So stupid question now...

WD40 or something more exotic? :wink:
 
Try lubrication with a decent oil - seems to have worked for several on the forum. May indeed be a sign of the roof motor going but try the cheap option first.
