Philly-R6 28 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 The motor should just unscrew from the frame - two counter-sunk posi-drive screws from memory. Refitting requires you to set the motor to the parked position first: # Connect the electrical plug (don't mount the motor to the frame, yet) # Press the Open function - motor turns and stops (10 turns I think) # Press the Close function - the motor turns and parks # Disconnect the plug (so it doesn't move inadvertently) The motor is now set: re-fit it to the frame - ASSUMING the roof is in the closed position. Before investing in another motor, disconnect it from the frame and see if it moves on its own. The switch could be faulty. As the roof closed manually, the roof mechanism should be ok.

Philly-R6 28 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 It should all be doable through the access panel (housing the interior light) - just how you manually closed it. Link to post Share on other sites
AD5Jetta01VR6 0 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 it’s only 6 screws to remove the glass. Mine would only pop up on the back. If it’s not the motor it could be something simple to notice on the tracks. Symmetry, or lack of in the pieces. I know &@$? all, but I fixed mine with a lil wing thingy(sorry for being too technical) glued in Link to post Share on other sites
