2) Use the long reach lever to press down the locking arm on the release mechanism (behind the seats and below the roll-over bars).
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.

My friend (honest!), has a turbo cab - '03. Apparently he let a friend borrow it for the weekend and it has come back with the roll bars deployed.
It seemingly hasn't been rolled - any ideas on why this would happen? And how to get them down again?
I am going to be looking in paranoia at my own from now on...
I'm guessing (bit not certain ) that the roll bars only deploy when they think the car is about to roll due to angle, and braking and lean/body roll :?
I would be questioning said friend potentially about what they were doing at the time the bar deployed. Not heard of them going wrong but is i guess possible so friend could be entirely innocent!
Not sure how it is taken down - maybe an OPC reset :?:
Have a word with your "mate"!
The roll-over protection bars will pop up within fractions of a second if the car experiences "extreme driving situations".
Severe tilting or leaning, or if car get "air" (goes airborne over bumps/humps etc).
DO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE ROOF ONCE BARS ARE ACTIVATED
If the convertible roof was up (closed) or hardtop fitted when they were triggered, the reset procedure must be done at an OPC (the two mechanisms gets in the way of each other).
They are spring loaded.
If the roof was open on trigger, see pages 36/37 of handbook for reset:
1) You need the long reach lever in tool kit (looks like a lever handle for a hydraulic jack or wheel wrench extender). It has a metal shaft and plastic/rubber handle/grip.
2) Use the long reach lever to press down the locking arm on the release mechanism (behind the seats and below the roll-over bars). Push down and towards the outside of the car.
3) Whilst pressing down locking arm, push roll-over bars halfway down and remove lever.
4) Slowly push the roll-over bar all the way back in until you hear it click.
5) Close and engage cover flaps.
Repeat for other side
Thanks for replies so far - will pass them on to my colleague.
I am guessing some spirited driving getting the car airborne sounds most likely cause.
More good reason to not hand out my own car to friends.
