Roof Problem (#3,207)

Today driving to work I put the roof down. Didn't think much of it at the time but looking back, it took its sweet time going down.

When I arrived at work I put it up only for it to go all the way, VERY slowly and hit my windscreen but not clip into place.
It refused to go back down or clip in - buttons did nothing. I turned car off and on, and the roof clipped in straight away. Thought it was strange but again, thought nothing of it.

Finish work just now and go to put the roof down. It unclips but doesn't actually fold back. There is no sound of a motor to pull it back like there usually is, just nothing. Car on/off and nothing. It ONLY unclips and clips in now.

FML.

HELP PLEASE !!

E85 2004.

Also this is a little off topic but is the roof motor connected to the fuse box in anyway ? I mean if the fusebox wasn't it the car would the roof work ?

Yes, it is fused. Other than the alternator/starter system, everything is fused.

Oh, I second classic roof motor failure.
