Hello folks, writing from Lagos, Nigeria. My 06 S cooper cabrio top is not opening. It stops at the middle and then the pump begins to look as if it is under pressure. Who can help?

 

Hi biniman,
This was posted on the MINIUSA site recently. Hope it helps:

The two most common causes of this problem
1. Improper seating of the cargo cover in the trunk
2. Unsecured latches for the cargo loading aid function (you know, where you lift the back end of the convertible roof up a bit to fit stuff in the trunk?)

Take a look in the manual- there are diagrams you might find helpful. https://ol.miniusa.com/auth/ViewMINI...onvertible.pdf
