my mk4 roof will only go down if i push it up about a foot to start it off, after that it carries on on its own. there's no problem with the closing, just when i try to open it, any ideas?

Try opening the roof with the key valve open on the pump and then open and close it manually 3-4 times then close the valve and try it with the switch again that should solve it :smile:

hi welshlad, i tried what you said and it starts to pull the roof but doesn't seem to have the strength to lift it. i'm starting to wonder if it needs oil or even new rams, i noticed there was a fair bit of oil around the rams but don't know if this is normal or not
