Roof Motor Replaced but roof not working

[benv6]

Hi Guys,

I have replaced and relocated my roof motor, the motor works fine but the roof not moving at all

I I have tried taking out and replacing the motor (I have got 2 motors) but nothing moves except the sound of the motor

I tried topping up the oil and checking everything is into place.

when I removed the roof I tried it and it closes and opens but it feels lack of power but when bolted in the car nothing moves !!!

any suggestions ?!!!

you got it fixed then? I'm no expert on roof motors but if its new its full of fluid and spinning up then that only really leaves the possibility of a bit of air in the system stopping it from pushing up the roof, I'm sure there must be some way of bleeding/purging the system of air
