In order to lock the roof, certain micro-switches and hall sensors needs to be trigger. you might start with testing some of them, maybe you start with No. 2 and 3.

How do you manually lock the cabrio roof?
I can hear my hydraulic roof pump running and it will actuate roof up and down, but will not lock in closed position. I think its low on hydraulic fluid and will not generate enough pressure to close on sensors and actuate locks or windows.
I have looked in boot left hand pocket for pump (as per youtube videos), but its not there!? Where else could it be, anyone?
