Hi
Does anyone know whether a Punto Mk1 cabriolet roof can be easily and successfully used on a regular basis when the automatic opening and closing mechanism has failed?
If so, does it lock properly in the down position so it doesn't flap about whilst driving?
If this is a problem, has anyone found a solution to this (some kind of strap perhaps)?
Do you have to be a grizzly bear to open & close the roof manually or is it relatively easy?
Are there any longer term problems that might occur if you manually open & close the roof on a daily basis for a sustained period?
I've seen threads suggesting the fix is £1,500 plus...gulp! Anyone come across cheaper fixes?
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards.
Jack
