you can open your roof by putting the key in the drivers door to the open position and hold it, this should start to open your roof and windows. Keep the key held in the open position until the roof is fully open. if your key is programmed to open the roof you can press the unlock button on the fob 3 times and hold it on the third press....... this should start to open your roof. Keep the botton pressed untill the roof is fully opened. If your keys in the ignition and there is power going to the roof switch you should be able to open your roof regardless of whether your doors are open or closed. The only things that will stop you from opening your roof is if the car is being driven or if the compartment that the roof folds into in the boot is closed to give you more room in the boot.

Firstly is your car doing this? If so this is what you need...."Front wishbone, Rear Bushes" Secondly, I cant be arsed to do a wite up so Ive nicked various peoples hard work ;) Jack car up and put on axle stands, then remove poo plate from under the engine bay (photo below) Remove these 2 bolts (16mm socket) Then watch this video to give you an idea of what im on about..If your bushes are totaled you wont need a tool to pull them off, just a rubber mallet and some muscle :lol: Tap your new ones on with your mallet but they must be 291 +/-1mm from the centre of the balljoint to the metal side of the bush housing,dont push it too far as it wont be easy to get back. Use some washing up liquid if they are difficult. 59nm for the rear mount Bolts. Then put everything back together basicaly..EASY Please ask if you get confused, Ive rushed this im a little busy sorry.
