Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last week I heard what at first was a "small stone hitting windscreen" sound somewhere top left. Not only could I not find a chip (phew!) but I noticed that my perfect cab roof was no longer perfect. I have photos and I need to save them as much smaller files in order to upload to here. I'm in Suffolk and the coachtrimmer who fitted the roof has since retired so I'm looking for diagnosis and fix. Until I can get the photo & video shrunk to size the effect is as if the cable which guides into the folding window frame sections has stretched so the fabric roof (which still folds & unfolds otherwise correctly) doesn't align correctly. I think the stone chip ping was the sound of something letting go.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
