Hello all. I have a punto with glass roof and I need help please. Basically roof operated normally until recently when it started to need a helping hand to open and close. Today it appears to have given up and stayed open. Still power as will close to about an inch of being completely closed and then opens slightly and stops. I am able to push it back manually, but not forward into closed position. I've tried resetting the car by disconnecting battery and also tried the manual wind located behind plug on headlining and neither has worked. Does anyone have any advice they can offer? Currently I would be happy if I could just close the roof and get it repaired at a later date. Thanks in advance.

Hi, :)
it sounds as if there is something physically in the way..:(

I'd use SEARCH in "advanced" to search relevant GP threads,
I'll have a quick look myself, ;)

Hi Charlie thanks for the reply.

I'm in the car now trying to get roof closed and all I've managed to achieve so far is drain the battery.
 
Update: I have managed to close the roof using force and reset procedure as in hold close button for 30 seconds. Would still like to know if anyone has a permanent fix for skydome problems so thanks in advance. Air Con to keep me cool until I can open roof again.
