    i know that normally if the roof won't open the windows won't work but they work fine. When I unclip the roof and hold the button the light just flashes at me after the Windows go down. Any ideas on what the hell is wrong this time?
    Copen seems to just be getting worse by the day lately. Also got some horrible squeak from the driver side front wheel at slow speeds -_-

    Have you checked that the blind is in place in the boot? I know it's obvious but easily done! Also sometimes mine doesn't sense that the catches are released and won't open - there are little sensors in the catch - try closing and reopening those or moving the sensors a bit, I'll try and get a photo!

    Yeah the boot cover is in the little slots and I've brushed my fingers over the sensors and it bleeps when I press them both in to say the roof is locked

    I had this drama once and it got stuck half way through some how.
    Try a battery reset(take battery negative terminal off for a few min)
    doors must be shut, windows must start in the up position
    make sure the car is running so there is not low voltage issues.
    Good luck!
