Hi from Corsica

Hi @Scalp59 , Funny you mention that. Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The sequence is:

1. Boot opens whilst windows lower.
2. small windows go down and roof gets into the boot.
3. etc.

For some random reason, you can tell inmediately that it would not work because the small triangular windows don't go down... This has started only a week ago. I was blaming the switch at the roller shelf in the boot... because this only happens when I'm leaving home and I park on my driveway which is sloping up (nose up). I thought that the angle would be playing games with the shelf/switch/etc.
It could also be the heat that we are experiencing in the UK at the moment (and for once I'm not joking ) that it's affecting something...
Up until now, I was hoping that it would go away on its own .
If I manage to get to investigate I'll keep you posted, but please do the same.

 

Easiest way to reset the window ECUs (and presumably the roof) is to disconnect the battery for 5 mins or so.

 

This started happening to me once the hot weather kicked in. It's always been as I leave work, after the car has sat in the sun all day. I followed the advice from another post. Knock one of the small windows with your knuckle just before the small window is due to descend. Works for me every time!
I should start parking in the shade!

 

Excellent. Worth bearing in mind. Thank you!!

 

Thank you @Tony . I knew that if I left it alone it would go away (eventually). Glad to hear is the heat. I'm surprised that our Aussie friends didn't jump on the opportunity . Of course, it must be "winter" for them...
I'm relieved that it's something as simple as that. You made my day!
Thanks again Tony.

 

On a Discovery 4, and Jaguar XF thinking about it, the trick was disconnect both battery terminals, leave for 5 mins or so and then touch the disconnected cables together to completely eliminate any residual current (which shouldn’t exist).

Just to be clear, just the cables not the battery terminals and both cables should be completely disconnected.

 

I have trouble with my rooftop...
The lamp flash red and it beeps then I drive.
The roof doesn't move an inch.
Any good advise?

 

I'm only just beggining to get to grips with Copen roofs myself. My knowledge is minimal at present.

But it does seem from the manufacturers manual that flashing roof warning light relates to the following conditions: Text in italics is direct copy from manual.
-----------------

2 CONTROL
2-1 CONTROL SPECIFICATION
2-1-1 MOTOR DRIVEN OPENING ROOF SYSTEM ACTIVE CONDITIONS

1.When the ignition switch is "ON" and the roof open/close switch is "OFF"!"ON".
(1) Vehicle speed is less than 5km/h.
(2) Parking brake switch is "ON". (When parking brake switch lever is at "brake".)
(3) Roof lock switch RH/LH is "OFF". (This condition is for the open operation only.)
(4) Luggage partition switch is "ON". (When the luggage partition is inserted in the holder.)
(5) Voltage drop/over voltage not detected.
(6) Opening cover switch is "ON". (When the opening cover is not installed.)
(7) Side latch RH/LH "CLOSE".

NOTE:
• If the roof open/close switch is operated with any of the conditions above not satisfied, the warning lamp flashes.

Sorry that's not very helpful on its own but I'm hoping that someone with more experience can expand on that by way of a specific troubleshooting proceedure.

 

Hello Brian,
Did you solve your problem ?
I think that Chris information is really important. But, if the problem is still there, it will be good to create a new topic related to YOUR case, because you joined a topic which was active in ... 2018, 5 years about. But we will be pleased to know that the roof is working now !
