Advice please, roof won't open

[kit325]

The roof for my 2004 roof stop working. When you un-clip the roof catches, you will hear the beep. Pull the roof switch windows lower down without any problem at all. I can hear the hydraulic motor running for 15 seconds, boot won't open at all and u will hear the beep indicating something wrong.

I have checked the hydraulic pump seems like there's still have 3/4 of oil in the hydraulic oil reservoir. I will be grateful if any one can tell me what what to lookout for.

Cheers!

Check the pressure relief valve is nipped up and not loose. Labelled "A" in diagram

Many thanks for the advice. I have try to tighten up the valve, spray WD40 on the boot release mechanism but it make no difference. What will be the next thing i should try?

The roof cycle is starting correctly but when it gets to the pump moving anything it all stops there, which is why I suggested the valve.
If the pump is producing hydraulic power, the next thing that should happen is the boot latches release, so next look for broken release cable or a faulty valve solenoid. If you don't know which cables I mean, check the roof operation video here The cables are shown at 4:44 mins into the vid and the solenoid at 4:10
Good luck

PS. Don't use WD40. It just washes the grease out.

Update!

At last some decent wheather yesterday, manage to fixed the roof by carrying out a manual roof opening/closing procedure (release pressure relief valve during the operation.). The roof now are back in working order!

Many thanks Capncol, your advice on pressure relief valve is bang on.
