  1. If you've had to pull the roof release lever to put up the roof either due to switch or battery failure you'll be reading the manual to find out how to reconnect the motors and re-sync the roof so all works only to see "MUST BE DONE BY MAIN DEALER" well here is a money saving guide as its very a simple job.
    1) fold roof down into roof hatch and push down on cover to release the safety catch that stops boot opening (easier with help) when roof hatch open.the motors are situated behind the left hand side of boot (passenger side). Remove the lining by popping the clips out with a flat head screwdriver.
    2) The motors are spring loaded so will have to be pushed back up into place they are quite robust so don't be afraid to use a bit of force. When you hear a load click the motors are in place 1 drives the hatch cover the other the roof itself
    3) now for the good bit. with the ignition in the off position press down the actuation switch into the raise position and hatch cover will be locked down, make sure your watching the cover, once its down turn key 1 notch into the ancillary position as the roof starts to raise this will re sync all the motors hold down switch until roof is completely raised.
    Raise and lower roof a couple of times to check all is working as it should if not pull lever to release motors and repeat until all ok. once is usually all it takes if procedure followed to the letter
