mk4 cab electric roof q's
wondering if anyone could clear up a few things for me, i bought an electric roof kit off twinny off here
and what i want to kno is
1) where does the pump mount?
2) what switch would i use to operate it iirc they r the same as the pass window button, be good if someone could confirm
3) what hydraulic oil is needed
any help appreciated
thanx

As said, roof pump mounts to the boot floor to the left, you will need the proper trim pannel(has a lift up flap) to cover it over, switches are the same as the window 1's but have the little icon on, i may have 1 if i look that you can have, as for the fluid standard brake fluid works fine but avoid the hydroscopic stuff used in citroen suspension setups as it rots the seals

I know its in a stereo case but where that is is anyones guess lol
As for the pannel, there easy enough to get hold off via ebay etc (bout a tenner) there the same bar the bottom which has a little box cover that hides the motor against the wheel arch

ok
any hydraulic fluid will do (NOT LHM )
they are the same switch (its in the wiring that differs)
also to mount it (if cab had electric roof from factory there is 2 threads in boot ) then you need a bracket that mounts on these and to pump
if not then you need to sit pump in boot passenger side
wiring does only work in pos1 unless (iirc its the yellow) relay from under dash is removed
manual roof pins have ball joints on end
electric roof pins (are pins and circlips)
the rear passenger panel is different has a cut out for pump and a separate cover that pressed studed on
hope this helps
