Hello everyone
I recently bought a used 500C and really enjoy it (2012 Twinair Lounge).
I had a small problem last weekend... when the roof was opening, there was a crunch sound and it looks like a plastic clip/fastener has broken.
The black nylon strap which runs along the roof rail is hanging down.
I then had to pick some broken plastic out of the rail on the driver's side.
I suspect the following:
- maybe the nylon strap came adrift from the plastic clip/fastener
- the clip then moved itself into a position that obstructed the roof system
- when I opened the roof, the clip got in the way and was crunched
Does this sound right?
Is this a common problem... and more importantly, is it possible for me to fix this if I get my hands on a replacement clip/fastener?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
PS. Sorry my first post here is a problem!
