Slow Capote cover

I was wondering if any one had any experience with the 360 capote cover. Mine is starting to move slowing back and up when cold. It works at a normal pace once the car is warmed up.

 

Check your hydraulic oil for the top. Its behind the seat's interior trim panel on the right side of the car. If you search there is a great post on how to.

 

yes, I've had issues.
Since I had the car they would sometimes stick "retracted". A gently "ficher / wiggle about" would usually get them to work, but reliability was not good. I tracked it down to the drivers side (rhd car). I checked the oil levels and micro switches and could find no problem. I removed the control cable from the motor and found it was very hard to turn. I lubricated the cable with a fine oil, then fitted a hand drill to the end of the cable and worked it back and forth until it seemed ok.

If I can point out the bit not to arse up, make sure that
a) you get the timing right when you refit the cable
b) you refit the spring clip that holds the cable onto the motor correctly. If it jumps off the timing goes off and it will trash your capote against the hood.
c) anyone got a used capote for sale
