We have just experienced the same issue. Worked out that the hinges have a plastic arm in the middle which were broken and binding the hinges. These are merely for servicing purposes and not required for normal operation. Simply remove them. the rear of the cover should be pointed slightly upwards once it is in the lowered position to allow it to slot into the lock mechanisms. This is the last part to lower into position when fully closing the lid with the roof down.

That wasn’t the issue with ours it was frayed cables in the mechanism that eventually snapped. They started fraying at less than 12 months old.

Absolutely dumb question, so I do apologise - I've just got myself an LCI E70 40d with the Bixenons. For some unknown reason the washer jets won't spray for the headlights. I believe you have the engine on, dipped beam and just pull the stalk and let the main windscreen washer cycle for about 10 sweeps. The headlight washer should spray within that time period? Trying to figure out if I have a duff pump/jets on both my headlights.
