Covering flaps

Roof side member flaps
The roof side member flaps close the space where the
roof side members are stored when the roof package
is stored in the boot. They each are driven by a
Bowden cable due to the movement of the boot lid
hinge. The position of the roof side member flaps is
recorded by the roof sensor system via Hall sensors.
This guarantees that the roof package is only stored
away when the roof side member flaps are open.
These flaps close the opening that is occupied by the
C-segment latch to the boot lid when the roof is
closed. The covering flaps are on the boot lid and are
each operated by the hydraulic cylinders in the
mounting frame via a Bowden cable.
If the roof is closed, the flaps will be in the “open”
position. They are covered by the sliding interior
panelling on the C-pillar. Once the roof is stored
away, the covering flaps switch to the “closed”
position when the boot lid closes.
