HI, I have a 1995 Esi but the automatic roof and the boot no longer works. Am trying to find an auto electrician who can either fix it or at least tell me what parts I need. Does anyone have any info please? I am based in Hampshire but willing to travel.

Many thanks

I would start with any switches that are located in the roof mechanism and in particular the boot area which would sense if there is an obstruction (e.g. shopping) and there is enough space for the roof to retract

Thank you Trevor

Ellephant - did you find anyone to look at it?

I have a 1997 ESI with an electric roof. All has been fine until a few months ago. It no longer functions fully, and sadly of everyone I have tried (Honda Garages, Electrical specialists, etc) none have be able to help. The best I have is a guesstimate from an old Honda mechanic that one, or more, of the slide motors switched may be faulty as they are showing an incorrect position when it stops part way through it cycle.

In short, the windows go down, the boot comes up, the tilter works and raises the roof, the two prongs leave the boot and almost go fully into the roof but they just fail to fully engage and it stops.

Does anyone have any ideas or knowledge of that expert who I come consult?

Many thanks,

Jeff

Sadly not yet. The boot will go up with a little encouragement but still not closer to finding anyone to look at the roof - and a huge shame as have had the bodywork done so it looks fab.

 

Have you had any luck with yours?
