My Open Sky is a unit previously refurbished by A2 Cars, and has worked without issue for the last five or six years - cleaned and re-greased once a year, and always opened regularly whenever the car’s being used.
Yesterday I opened the roof to the first position and there was a loud clunk; I closed it again and then went to open it fully, to hear the dreaded noise of the gears slipping and the left hand side of the roof not moving. After a lot of messing around (it has obviously jumped several teeth and when the motor stopped turning, the roof was still open), I got it shut manually. I tried to reset by holding the close button, but that also led to the jumping gear noise.
Where should I start looking to diagnose?
