I have had this issue for a while now before the car was laid up. Where I had to lower the roof and when it was fully lowered I had to go round to the side of the car and push the rood down like 2 millimeters and it would then lock into place. Otherwise I would get a red flashing light saying something is wrong with the roof. i am unsure if this is a locking issue, roof not folding correctly issue, relay or control module issue. the roof motor itself was relocated to the boot about 5-6 years ago and topped up with hydraulic fluid/oil.
Once I push it down it's fine but just wondering if this is an easy fix. i will try and video it but hard to do now i had to remove the gaptech as it had failed so I need to be in the car whilst lowering the roof so i'll need to get someone else to film or someone else to hold the button down. the light won't flash straight away once lowered. you need to drive it for a bit then it will start flashing. it's as if the last part of the lowering process isn't working (locking it in place). but if i go round and push it down it locks into place.
no other issues with the roof what so ever now. it goes up and locks onto the windshield first time.
