You have found the allen key under the switches?

Start by pushing it shut as far as possible, then, as mentioned above, wind with the Allen key, if this doesn't work, send a PM and I will explain how to properly close, also let me know if a repair is needed.

The Allen key is located under the reading light cluster and sunroof switch, by the way.

Perhaps few of us would like to know, in case this happens, how to "properly close" the OSS? That would be greatly appreciated!

It involves getting a screwdriver in the runner from inside and pushing the bottom part of the runner fully forwards until it locks shut.

Maybe I'll create a thread on it, if it's needed, after I get back home next Wednesday

Looks like this and it’s stick. It’s bent on one side but it was the left hand side but now seem to be on the right???

That means one runner is broken, but not the other, it's a common problem, just keep pushing it, don't be afraid to put some force into it.

No....??? Not sure where it could be as nothing else opens where the buttons are...

Thanks I’ll try it tomorrow now

yes, it does; use a small screwdriver to pull the "glass" off and then you'll see how the switch panel itself comes down. The motor is behind the panel, you'll need to remove it to close the roof.

Thanks a lot I’ll try myself tomorrow and hope it doesn’t rain in the night...

I can’t find the Allen key... I’ve taken off the light cover and can’t see where to pull the control cover off.

THANKS GUYS we’ve managed to close it... after it rained but at least it’s shut???
