Vauxhall Astra Twinport convertible boot problem

stagey_2

HI all - suddenly at lunch time the boot is stuck - the reason I found this out was that a gong sounded on the dash (no lamp showing) and when I got home checked it out in the handbook (for the roof mechanism) it seems the gong will operate if it thinks the roof is being operated and then the gong pings to advise you are going over 20 mph - but I didn't try and open the roof and it was perfectly OK all week (no pinging) haven't actually been in the boot since Monday. There are a few suggestions elsewhere that it could be a fuse (re the stuck boot) but not sure if that is the case if it thinks the roof is being opened - could I try to open the roof as usual from within the car and see if that fixes it or not - any advice gratefully received. thanks Liz

It's me again - thought I'd solved it - you can close and open the roof from the fob key - so double locked and unlocked and low and behold it open - solved - I thought! sigh! it's locked itself again today - does anyone have a clue - thank you Liz
