The "˜tension ropes' were replaced by an OPC not too long ago as one had snapped and the other looked to be on the way out, though I can't be certain the events are related.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, especially those with a knowledge of the Cabriolet My C2 Cab has developed a strange fault when folding the roof. As the roof folds when being lowered, rather than folding neatly into the deck area, a fold sits proud and covers the latch for the 'horseshoe' panel. When said panel closes, it nips the folded roof and is causing damage. I compared the way my roof is folding to another Cab. The other car's roof folded neatly and was clear of the catch. I'm therefore pretty sure there is a problem with my roof; just not certain what has caused it and how to remedy the situation. I can get around the problem by stopping the roof half way through the retraction and pushing the fold out of the way, however this is not ideal. Has anyone else seen this issue before or have any suggestions? The "˜tension ropes' were replaced by an OPC not too long ago as one had snapped and the other looked to be on the way out, though I can't be certain the events are related. I did ask them after I noticed the problem and they couldn't offer any explanation. I've taken some photos to hopefully demonstrate the issue, though it is not the easiest part of the car to photograph. The first photo shows the fold covering the catch, the second shows roughly were the roof should be. Thanks in advance, Martin

From the photos I can only assume my hood has never closed properly so I'll be interested to hear Richard's response.
