Roof locked in boot

[mirras]

Hi all first post, been lurking for a wee while...

been a bit daft twice today and thought I would share..

Took all the seats out my 2007 C70 today to give them a proper clean ( yes I know ) I disconnected the battery for a while and stripped the interior out. I then realised I needed into the boot ( the roof was down ) so I pulled what I thought was the boot release cable under the back seat ( mistake number 1 ) it was actually a manual 'release' for the roof clearly labelled in the user manual, if only I'd read it first. A bit of googling later I discovered you had to get into the boot to reset the pin on the hydraulic pump. So, I then reconnected the battery ( mistake number 2 as the seats were still out ).

I couldn't get under the roof to reset the hydraulic pump so I tried through the ski hatch and it's actually very easy to get to from there if you push the frame out too.. So roof works again... Mistake number 1 rectified...

However, now got SRS Airbag Warning showing and don't (yet) have Vida to reset - Mistake number 2 not yet rectified...

After a very short trip to my local garage and a free reset, mistake number 2 rectified, SRS warning reset.... lesson learned and still got Vida coming... wonder what I will break then...

How did you reset the pump?

glad it got resolved.
good luck sir.

I must admit I made serveral "ooooch" noises reading that! Removing the seats is always dicey with all the **** in them these days but when I read about pulling the release I winced. Interesting to hear that all you have to do is press a reset pin on the pump as they don't tell you THAT in the manual, I'd assumed it released all the hydraulic fluid onto the floor or something!
