Roof locking issue ?

Hi all - happy new year.

I had to go out late last night in the car and as I pulled away, there was a "knocking" noise from the roof and an error message appeared on the iDrive screen saying the roof mechanism was unlocked.

I stopped, opened the roof, closed the roof and the same thing.
I pushed the black plastic cover that sits between the sunvisors and the fabric roof and the drivers side "clicked" and the message went away.

Anyone else have this issue ?
I'll keep my eye on it and if needed go to the garage.

Thanks
FC

Possibly the car was up on one side, say up on a kerb or on an angle on the drive? A small amount of twist on the mechanism would make this happen. Cold weather makes the fabric less flexible. My Saab wasn’t to lowered if the temp was below 5 degrees C

Yep - bang on.
I park the car on the street and have to bump up on the kerb.
Thanks for that - I'll keep my eye on it in future.
