Default C70 Convertible Roof Lowering

Hi

When I lower the roof on my 55 plate C70 vert, it takes 30 seconds, which is not incredibly quick, but I just wanted to see if this normal. Also just as the rear tonnau cover is lowering right at the end.. it stops for about 5 seconds before finaly shutting.. anyone else get this??

You're lucky you can get it to work at all. Mine now refuses to do anything!

But to answer your question 30 seconds is about what it should take and the pause is caused by the control unit waiting for a microswitch to engage.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for setting my mind at ease... didnt want to have the dealer tell me its all OK, when they could take a look... I've got a couple of month warranty left, so want to find all the faults now!!
