E350 roof

[Gary Toth]

Hi
Went to put the roof up on the car as it had started to rain, and it refuses to work.
I can hear the servo if I put the handle to open but nothing when I put it the other
way, the windows do not drop or anything. I've checked the boot and the cover.
all seem to be in order. any ideas much appreciated its a 15 plate E350.
thanks in antisapation.
Gary

The boot separator might be in place but still not closing the micro-switch. Does the dash warning advise you to close the boot separator?

 

[Gary Toth]

No nothing on the dash at all

I will move the boot seperator tomorrow and check that it dose

Roof now sorted it was a sticking micro switch on the screen. bit of wd40 and jobs a good un.

WD40 isn’t a great lube, invest in some proper contact cleaning lubricant.
Pleased you found the fault

WD40 even think so and make this;
