Guest Deputydawg Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi all, my roof on retraction tends to buck when folding? then continues to fold away neatly has anyone else experienced this? and what causes it also what is the remedy? Secondly I have noticed that the roof has started to show a small gap beneath the rear window were the roof meets the body, I think it may be due to contraction and perhaps overtighting og the release handle on the front but some exposing some cable. Help on to how to make it close would be useful, apart from loosening the handles of course! Thanks & Regards to all DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeyboy Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 there are some adjusters tucked away behind the rear door cards, you can adjust the rear cable that holds the hood to the car from here ya need to take the cards off to get at them tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will remove and take a look also I will try to take a look by removing the rear parcel shelf Thank you for the information Any thoughts why the roof tends to 'buck' on retraction? do you think it may be one of the cables needs adjusting? I would welcome your thoughts DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
