[don320]

Hi forgot to ask when I raise my roof you get the audio warning and when it is fully raised it cuts out and locks in place mine no longer does it used to but not now I checked the switch at the hand brake and it seems to be operating ok does anyone know how to solve this problem as it just keeps beeping unless you turn the ignition off any ideas!

Quite common for the roof not to raise fully. Have to tried giving it a helping hand by standing inside and pushing up while you press the lift button?

As mikeonb4c says, common problem. Quite a few possible causes. If the roof takes much longer than about 25 seconds to reach the top I would say it is "struggling" for some reason. Most covered in the following link, skip past the broken motor discussions for starters

Think there is a couple of micro switches on the roof runners
The wheels runners activate these when fully open
Make sure it's fully opening and hitting the micro switches
Could be just a faulty micro switch

Yes I think that's commonly what brings the problem out, especially in cold weather when the tenting is less stretchy and the electrics may be more sluggish.
