Make sure that all of the micro switches are depressed. There are two in the trunk both on the drivers side. One is where the parcel shelf rests.(Not the back pivot rod but the resting part.) The other is on the left latch that keeps the rear upper trunk latched. The last one is that the trunk is shut. Make sure all three of these switches are depressed and the top will operate.

I have a 2004 mini cooper convertible. The roof opens to half way and will then flash red if i want it ti close all the way, All windows shut initally, but now when closing the roof the driver side rear...

I am not sure what you are trying to do. But if the problem is that the roof will only open to the first stage, sun roof, and no further, the problem is the package shelf in the trunk.

If the package lid gets pushed up and is not pushed back to it's normal position, the roof will fail to open completely. If you lift the bottom of the roof at the boot, there are levers on either side to release the bottom edge of the roof, you can make certain that the package shelf is seated correctly. Once the shelf is seated, the roof will open in all of it's glory.

Renault megane cabriolet roof broken?????

just had the same problem with mine, here's what the problem was, the hydrolic fluid had gone bellow the min level indicator because of a slight leak to the ram, the reservoir is located in the back N/S boot. refill the the reservoir (Halfords do the hydrolic fluid for them) then you need to re-set the roof mecanism, after opening and closeing the back part of the car where the roof goes manually, and trying the switch a few times to reset the locking device with the micro switches, I managed to do it without spending too much cash. hope this helps anyone with roof trouble. -

Mini Roof

yes i had the same problem with our mini Up until i found that in the boot there are two lever one on either side. The left side,has two little switches to allow the sunroof to open and close,so if the lever does NOT touch the switch the roof wont fully work or will open half of your roof and the red light will stiil flash.. as soon as you touch those buttons on the left side of the boot it will open.........RIGHT BEHIND THE LEVER NOT EASY TO SEE GOOD LUCK....

Roof stuck half open.

There's a hidden side pannel that you pry open. It's located on the drivers side of the side-dash. Basically open the drivers side door and try to pry open the side of the dash console. It's right inside there with all the fuses and things.
