I cleaned the relay and made sure the microswitch above the wind shield was working then gave it a try.

I pressed and held the switch as usual and the roof cover (the rear hatch) opened but the roof didn't move. I could hear the motor working.

The roof stopped, as though it had completed the cycle and I heard a loud clunkin and clicking noise, from the left side of the car coming from behind me.

I pressed and held the open button but the clunk could be heard again and neither the roof or roof cover moved.

I have tried to open the roof cover manually but can only get it half way. Not giving me enough room to pull the roof up manually.

Does anyone have any ideas?
