All I did was pull apart those plastic spade connectors that Lhasadreams showed in the pic
me too, and it worked :cheer:
and to make it even better, it started raining in very slow moving traffic and I was able to up the roof without switching off.. woo hoo

electric hood
i came back from the AGM frustrated not being able to operate my hood while driving after seeing several on the convoy doing it
![:banghead:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images_custom/ocf_emoticons__BangHead.gif)
but after reading lhasadreams post i tried the un plugging solution and hey presto happy days it works

I went to look at my wires to test out this method on this forum thread to reveal my wires mentioned were already unclipped !
but 2 wires were coming out of the tube of wires into the roof system !
see photo
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/data/external_url_proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediadiverse.org.uk%2Felectrics.jpg)
SO i turned the engine on ! the roof came down and went back up again
SO i turned the engine OFF ! the roof came down and went back up again
I then tried the roof again with the key in but engine off Didnt work
SO i turned engine ON and it didnt work !!!
My electrics must be dodgy as the rrof seems to have a mind of its own
what can i do?
cheers
