Condivido a pieno, finalmente un video fatto per aiutare tutti gli appassionati e possessori di 939 dopo i tanti video inutili di un italiano ;-)

There is a man that fixes the ECU's speak to Merv at Autoelectron in Harrogate

Hi Bill Thought about making one to open it manually but then if someone can't follow the video backwards on how to close it. Should they be allowed to do it in any case ?

​@@CabrioletTech The only part the video doesn't really cover is resetting the pump which is quite important otherwise the roof won't work. Otherwise it's THE perfect video for people to get involved in the manual roof operation of their Spider. I appreciate the roof can have a number of problems for failures though so not everything can be covered in one video. Personally I've always pressed down on the boot lid to ensure clearance when opening/closing the clamshell otherwise bad things can happen ! Something people should be aware of. If you don't mind I'll post a link on the 939 forum to the video

@@Lee_Pitcher Hi Bill Intentionally left that part out, why? The purpose is to get someone out of trouble to close the roof, as it doesn't work electronically. Intention being that they find someone to repair it to address the root cause to restore electrical function. Of course maybe in the future when I make videos on repairing them, will include to pressure the pump as required Would love for you to post the video, much appreciated

I would appreciate it for opening - even if it is only this in reverse it would be very helpful to demonstrate. mine can be temperamental and sometimes only do half a cycle which frightens me to death in case it starts raining. Great video - really appreciate it.

Deal Bring it over, I'll check it and we make a video of opening it Regards Team VagPro

Cheers, corrected

You would need to get to the pump and close the bypass screw and of course address the original issue to why your didn't close electrically in the first place

I know that you already answer on similar question but believe me in Serbia where I'm living there is no service who want to touch anything about Spider roof. Its like devil is in the garage for everyone. So that's why that part would be really really welcome.

You have to screw the valve back in on the pump

@@CabrioletTech Thank you for responding, much appreciated. Is this a complicated job, i.e. does it have to be done by a mechanic?

@@60specialkit’s user friendly to reset the pump. Generally you can just push the cable back inside the car but I prefer to reset it by moving the lever back fully. Both do the same but doing it by hand ensures it goes back all the way

Yes any manual roof operation needs hydraulic pressure releasing

@@CabrioletTech how many time whait decompression?

@@samuelesam1968 as soon as you pull cord it's instant

I don't have a cable or cable tie to release the pressure (must have been snapped off by the last owner) could I correct this myself? Where does it attach to the pump? Many thanks!
