spoolep Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Can anybody help? I got the roadster and when I press "open" the back part of the roof (the part with the rear window in it) makes a noise but fails to open. I then move the rear section by hand and then the roof will open but very slowly until that part is complete then the roof opens as normal but a bit slow towards the end. I did notice that one of the side bars/ runners I a bit loose compared t the drivers side bar. Anybody got a clue what's going on? I have greased everything but still the same. Its JDM 2003 If that helps Thanks in advance Steve Quote
GMballistic Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Welcome aboard Steve. I don't own a roadster so can't help much sorry but did a quick search for you and found some threads for you to read. Hopefully there might be some answers in one of them at least for you and if not bumping this thread might get someone with a roadster to notice.

gingerslippers Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Hi, Ive just serviced my 5th Bow motor in reference to roof issues so if anyone needs advice on this feel free to PM me. Thanks 1 Quote
spoolep Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Hi Gingerslippers. If you can send me your symptoms and how you got round them I would be much obliged. I have seen the new bushes fix but it looks a little to complicated for me so I have toyed with the idea of getting a new motor unit. Any suggestions for supply here in thr UK would be a start. I aint very tech minded, I am better-off in the sports department. Cheers Steve Quote

spoolep Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Got the 5th bow motor out, cleaned up all the carbon and grease build up, back in and it works a treat.Thanks for your input Cheers Quote
samsniss350z Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Welcome to the forum Steve, glad to hear you've got your problem sorted. Quote
spoolep Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 The problem of the 5th bow motor has reared its ugly head yet again. Does anybody know the part number I require for a new motor, I have looked but its a little confusing. Ginger slippers are you still offering the old motor refurb? Any help is much appreciated Quote
