    Hi guys I've just bought a 2009 Ferrari California with full Ferrari History - its a beautiful car but I'm having some issues with my roof already.

    I'm in the motor trade so can't take it back to the dealer.

    The issue is : when the roof first goes down, the roof folds into the boot and the passenger side is slightly higher than the drivers side, so when the boot comes down on top of it the passenger side won't close properly.

    If I then put the roof up and then back down it always goes back down just as it was designed to.

    If left for a few minutes or longer it will get stuck again.

    No error messages on the dash whatsoever.

    Any one had this issue before?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Cheers
    John

    You may have on e of the string controlled flaps not moving fully. I had one recently that had that issue. Sometimes manually moving the top will let you see what is binding.

    check the interior panels are folding correctly, and moving out of the way of the frame as it colapses, its very common for them to get stuck in the mechanism for one reason or other, ( broken straps. chords or fixings)
