The main drive connects the CSC roof to the body
and carries out the actual retraction and extension
movement of the roof into and out of the boot. For a
short while, it has to support the whole weight of the
CSC roof.
The movement of the main drive is closely linked to
the movements of the other roof components as well
as the boot lid.
The main drive is basically made up of the following components and modules on each side of the car:
- the main hinge
- the hydraulic cylinder in the main hinge
- the roof side member incl. various guide rails, connecting rods and latches
- the hydraulic cylinder in the roof side member
- the roof side member panelling
- the sensors
