: Roof not working

Hi there.
Firstly apologies if I am posting in the wrong area.

I have a 2005 cabrio that has been running just fine, until a couple of weeks ago, when I couldn't close the roof entirely after having it down.

I went as far as the first part, right up and over the car, but when it came to the latches locking into the windscreen area, it could do that, and so off course the sunroof can't close.

I checked everything the levers in the boot etc. And lowered the roof up and down numerous time, But no luck.
Now the motor next to the sunroof just makes a loud "jamming" noise when the roof button is pressed.
I have taken the cover off and closed the roof manually (hard work!) but I miss the wind in my hair... lol
Has anyone heard of this issue, or know what it could be?

Thanks...

Doesn't sound like my cabrio that you bought...? :p My roof never played up on me in the 2 years of ownership....would be great if you could post some pics... I'd like to see it... :D

Oh does it have a Pioneer Bluetooth head unit in it? :p
