Hi guys,
Is there a 'knack' to getting a Super Viking Roof back to traveling position (ie closed!!) as just lifted roof and managed to pop a hinge when trying to re-fasten the catches down!!
Gonna fix the hinge tomorrow, but don't want to keep poping it!!
Conveniently, the roof was the only thing I didn't check as it was raining, but was assured 'it all works fine guv'nor!!'
Help greatly appreciated as I've promised the little camper a trip away this weekend!!
Thanks in advance!!
Stuart

just an idea - raise it again and check the central stut hasn't departed from it's track and is butted up against anything. Check the cushions are folded and stowed properly too.
That's all I know......

Checking the cushions is very good advice. Can take a couple of goes to make sure the canvas is stowed properly. And also make sure the bottom .has been pushed all the way back in before dropping the top. Finally, dont forget to fasten it down.
