I paused the V8 Vantage roof while opening and now the roof is stuck halfway open.
I cannot get access to the owners guide in the boot to read on how to shut the roof manually.
Can someone give me instructions from the owners guide please
Thanks
Alan

if I remember well what I read on the manual few days ago you should be able to close by hand if there is no electric power and after you have to close the roof with the esagonal tool placed near the driver seat in the emergency tools kit

just remove in the front center of the roof the small plastic cap and you will be able to see the screw

Switch off the ignition and the roof should relax. Then start the car and the roof should operate normally .

Been there as well,welcome to the Sardine Tin Club.

Apparently if you leave it a few minutes it will reset its self and return to the open starting position.

Have done the test now on the drive and it did do what the Dealership said,but it far from ideal when your out and about
or have a crowd looking on pissing themselves.

Switch to fiddly IMO for Sausage fingers.........yes
