Hello everyone,

I would like to open the roof manually (to check it). Can someone please tell me where I need to connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery? I'm now using RAVE, but I'm still not familiar with the electrical system. Thank you!

I thought the sun roof could be opened manually with a spanner?

Pop the interior light out above rear view mirror and I believe there is an allen key spot for opening/closing sunroof

This is the tool but a large screwdriver should work

There is indeed a "Key" to open the sunroof when the motor fails or whatever.
Here is a pic of my one. The blade is 10mm across so a large flat-blade screwdriver will work too.

Bugger! @brianp38dse beat me to it by about 4 minutes.
