Hi All,

I haven't opened the roof since last summer and now it will only tilt but not slide back. I know that the manual release is in the roof motor but I can't get it to move. Has anyone managed to open their roof manually ? Just wondering whether it takes brute force or whether it should be silky smooth. I don't want to force it and break something !!

Many thanks

there should be an allen key type thing in the toolkit for the roof - but AFAIK you can only manually close the roof - not open.

It could be a simple fix though! If its lack of use it may have lost its settings and needs a reset. With the ignition on hold the sunroof switch down* and hold for approx 2 mins. after about 30 secs of nothing happening the sunroof will start tiliting open then open / close fully. keep the switch held down until it has completed this procedure and has stopped in the closed position.

  • if its not down, hold it pressed forward.

Many thanks, I forgot about the reset, I'll give it a try later. I have the tool but it's missing the handle (different size hex on either end so it must be lost). I have an allen key that fits but as you mention it can only be closed from open I'll cross my fingers for the reset !!

Did the reset work OP?

Hi,
No luck but it has made the sunblind stop working (now stuck fully open). If it ever stops raining plan B is to disconnect and reconnect the battery to see if that helps. I'll let you know.
Thanks
