roof stuck close. second problem in two days :(

HI,

my second problem in two days. the first problem was my seat, now it's the roof.

The roof stuck and not coming down. checked the fuse, brake unit and relay. all good!
the clamshell operated with the electric motor (you can hear the sound) but it sound stuck, the clamshell only goes up for 10 mm and stuck. I can get it down again but you hear the roof engine working hard like something is putting hard life for it.

Is it a bell ring for me to sell the car? two problems in two days? whats next?!

Thanks
Yaron

Opened the roof, can't see a problem.

Hi,
Today I opened the roof. I asked my son to press the "open" on the roof button and I "helped" the clamshell to go up. It worked! now I can get access there.

I checked all the cables and connections and everything in place. Any idea what can go wrong?

Took a few pictures -

Anyone can help me?

Here is a youtube video of the problem. I could make the roof move but it sound like something is working real hard there. the roof doesn't close or open till the end. the light stills on when it comes the a stop. you can see small gap at the clamshell .

Thanks guys
