360 roof not finishing

[Mike Brown]

I have just got the 360 out, after opening the roof it seems to finish/stop at the point that the roll bar covers should come up,.
It's clicking but not actuating, as Evers any advice help gratefully appreciated, Mike

Have you checked the battery. Presumably its started ok and you have opened the roof with the engine running ?
I had the same once on a F430 and closed the roof charged the battery and it opened fine the next day.

If not it might be one of the roof sensors that's telling it to stop which will be a trip to the garage

Is the motor for the ears running? If not check the sensor for the rear cover - if it isn't actuated then the next stage of the cycle cannot happen. The sensor for the cover is on the LHS hydraulic ram (circled below).



If the motor is running then you need to look at the ears where they are folded away. I've seen a couple where the mounting snaps off and causes them to stop working. If one of yours has snapped don't worry - I've repaired them with fibreglass before and got them painted.

Thanks gents, it's worked now, it seems to operate better once the engine has run a while and generally warmed things up a little,
I had similar last year, is there anywhere that might benefit from lubricant, Mike

[Mike Brown]

No the motor is not running , so maybe a sticky sensor/switch. It's worked now after letting the engine run awhile, it did similar last year and once the warm air circulated it was fine.
Would lubricant help anywhere? Thanks as always your advices are appreciated, regards Mike

You might want to check your hydraulic fluid level, in the space behind the leather cover behind the right seat (facing forwards). With the roof down the fluid level should be in the circle in the middle of the container. More info here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/technical-q/14009...

Edited: I've read that you need the engine running when operating the roof otherwise the battery may be too weak in itself.
