Buckland Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I know this is a long shot..finally picked up a open air motor, Roof whent back As it should then when closing It's gone at a angle And doesn't fully close Anyone over the years had any dealings with this I've found local dealers of the roof but rather give it a go first rather then having to fork out anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Can they be taken off?Would say clear the channels and give it a good grease up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckland Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pretty sure it's like a million torx screws, But never done it and never seen a how to or guid So not sure where to start lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Hmm good point, I've never even seen an open air so don't know. I believe there is torsion cables etc, but other than that not too sure where to start.Does it go all the way back? If so clear the channels where it slides and give it some grease and see if its any better Edited May 20, 2014 by danoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Try this, this is for a polo mk3 as they had the sliding fabric roofs, might be of some usehttp://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/sliding_roof/sliding/tilting_roof_with_glass_panel__09.99/removing_sliding_headlining/http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/sliding_roof/sliding/tilting_roof_with_glass_panel__09.99/installing_sliding_headlining/http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/sliding_roof/sliding/tilting_roof_with_glass_panel__09.99/checking_parallel_running/http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/sliding_roof/sliding/tilting_roof_with_glass_panel__09.99/adjusting_parallel_running/The last two should be of good use as it's about adjusting the parallel running, which I guess is the issue your having Edited May 20, 2014 by danoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
