Guys, windows have stoped working again , drivers stoped 2 inch down as per normal on door opening , passengers site is closed , non operational.
Any one opened the roof with the Allen Key above mirror, this would allow roof to move out of the way to allow the door to open, and then I can access the micro switches which I think are causing the problems.
Any thoughts greatly received, thanks in advance..

Different car but on my Volvo C70 the head of the roof would be released via the use of an allen key as it takes the tension out of the mechanism.

To get the full roof down you had to then access the boot and raise the tonneau cover then a second procedure to lower the fabric roor then a third to lower the tonneau again.

Allen key and the two switches in the panel between the seats should allow you to raise or drop the roof manually, the process is in the manual and I am sure some one on here will have a copy of the page to hand.

The micro switches appear to be iffy - test with a meter and maybe have to replace them.
