And yup Mark, I knew it only works in pos 1, but unfortunately even then its still refusing to move after the first few inches...kinda takes the fun away when people see me struggling to put it up by hand! lol
Sounds like someone might have fitted the power mechanism to a manual frame. If that's thase case the front will lift up about 2 or 3 inches and then stop, - it won't fold at the first pivot without a push, and then it should open all the way up on its own. When you close it it should close on its own - but will drop the last few inches pretty heavily.
If that describes how your roof is - then that's the problem.
If its a proper power roof - it should have a warning sticker on the driver's side roof locking handle. Have you got one?
