The convertible top will not open or close.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my VW Beetle Cabrio. The roof won't open or close, even though Carly shows that the car is error-free. After a mechanical problem where one of the roof cords broke, I closed the roof manually. I saw in a video that you should turn the valve in the trunk and then pull the red cords to unlock it. I turned the valve back. Now the display shows two arrows and 'roof down'. When I press the control button, nothing happens. Do I need to reset something or is there a fuse I should check? Thank you for your help!

Start by checking the fuse related to the convertible roof mechanism in your Beetle's fuse box, as a blown fuse could prevent the roof from operating. If the fuse is intact, inspect the hydraulic fluid level for the roof system, as low fluid can also cause issues. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Good morning, I have a 2007 Opel Astra Twinport. Lately, it wouldn't open, only the fuel pump could be heard working. Yesterday, after months, I decided to try it and it opened slowly, and it also closed slowly. It's nothing like the instant opening and closing it used to have. What could be wrong?

Good morning! It sounds like your Opel Astra's central locking system might be experiencing a weak actuator or a power issue. Start by checking the car battery's voltage, as a weak battery can affect the locking system's performance. If the battery is fine, inspect the door lock actuators for any signs of wear or damage. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
