    I had a new hood fitted by a specialist firm who were great about a month ago. When I pick up the car, there were no error messages but I was told not to open the hood for 7 – 10 days. Due to the bad weather, I simply didn’t use the car.

    I have used the car over the last few days and I have suddenly had the error message followed by a bleep – ‘Roof Operation Unavailable – See handbook’

    The rear windows do not work at all from the driver side controls. The passenger side window will only come down in 2cm sections and I have to keep pushing the window button until it reaches the bottom. However, going back up is normal. Driver’s side window operates normally.

    I have changed the battery for a new Yuasa 5000 and there are clearly no polarity issues.

    I have been through the handbook for fuses linked to the windows and hood. There does not appear to be any clear fuses for either the windows or the hood.

    A friend is a senior engineer at Bentley and he suggested resetting the windows which I have tried to do but nothing has changed or improved.

    The hood guys are great and I can bring it back to them and they will take a look. However, I really wanted to know what had happened myself.

    Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? The steering wheel buttons all work fine.
    I have put a video on Facebook on the Maserati Owners Club. Please have a look….

    Very sorry to hear. What was the reason the specialist company gave you, not to operate the roof for such a long period of time? May we presume you have since gone back to them and got nowhere?

    Regards

    Hi Kurt,

    I am going to go back to the company who are more than keen to get the matter sorted.

    The company said that the hood needed to stretch over the frame and I had to wait a minimum of 7 days before using the hood.
