Hi All, I have just bought a 04 spyder. Just come across the first main issue with it.
The roof did not fully fold down (having read - some of the posts... could be the elastic loops getting old (he hopes!!)
Unfortunately with my tinkering i managed to get it stuck half way up.
I have followed the manual procedure to put it back down again which is straight forward. However the manual Allen Bolt to manually lock the roof above the front windscreen has been 100% rounded by the previous owner!!! dont want to make it worse.
A couple of questions
1) can you replace just that bolt? any experience of doing this?
2) is there a way i can engage the electric hood at this point to close it (still not responding when i press the button)
Other less critical jobs now i have the car is to:
- underseal the body of the car
- address the cracked leather seats
- address the sticky buttons (already been in touch with Lorenzo (thanks for quick response!!)
Thanks
Paul
