93 closing convertible roof problem
Discussion
I have a 1999 93 convertible that has developed a problem when closing the roof.
Most of the operation is completed up to the point where the hard plastic tonneau should lower.
It doesn't and soft top failure comes up on the SID.
You can sort of jiggle it and encourage then it will complete the close but I don't know where the problem lies in order to fix it.
Any clues where to start??

Does it only stop there or does it stop at random at other parts of the open/close?
Just wondering of it is a Hydralic fluid issue, they are easy to top up and the cause of many a roof failure
Mine took 22 switch pushes to get it down and 14 to get it up (oer missus!) but after topping up the fluid goes straight down and up now.
I have covered the top up in my reader's car thread:

Fluid level checked - found to be low.
Fluid level topped up - satis.
Functional check carried out - satis.
What a PITA putting the pump back - too many cables getting in the way.
Anyhoo, all done and is much quieter in operation.
Hopefully there is no major leakage and this job will last for some time
