Hi,

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with a problem with my roof. It kept getting stuck half way down and then wouldnt go back up again so I would have to manually put it back up. However now it wont go down electronically at all, does anyone now how to recharge the electrics back up again.

Thank you

The roof operates off the car's electrics so keep your engine running while you operate it to avoid flattening the battery.

Thank you for your response, the problem is, even when I have the engine running it wont go up or down, it seems the the system has de-pressurised or something. I've been trying to find a solution for quite some because the Peugeot dealers said they would charge me £45 just to have a look at it!

Do you know what this problem would be?

Thanks

No. I don't know how to check the hydraulics if it is that. It could well just be a microswitch at fault although if the roof has been up and down manually it could just need resetting. I would need to go to a Peugeot agent myself. Sorry.
