Mini R52 Convertible: sliding roof won't close
 

Hello,
I have a problem on my Mini R52: the last part of the roof (sliding roof) won't close anymore.
From full open, when I press the close button roof start to close until the top hooks slide into windshield frame holes; but when it's time to lock hooks and close the sliding roof, the motor makes a small move in closing direction, then it stops and led on close button start to flash.
If I try to open from this position, roof opens and fold down on rear shelf, as normal.
I've done the open/close loop few times, but everytime stops at the same point.
Any advice on what to check for?
Thanks a lot!

Sounds like the loose or broken green cable connection or the internal parts that is triggered when is goes into final closing mode. I have seen then pull and then stop and not push.

Check this thread out and you are going to have to inspect those rails a bit more. This shows you how things operate.
