Hi

(as header) I have tried cleaning the runners and WD40 on the motor, it used
to close completely but now the head lining has a half inch gap at the
front.

Its not a huge problem but are there ant serviceable parts in the motor
(brushes perhaps).

cheers

Gary

Hi

Oh yeh its fine, we have just noticed a gap in the head lining at the front
as though the motor isnt pulling it as tight as it used to.

thanks

Have you got the manual cranking handle, too see if it can be tightened
closed a bit?

Hi

No we haven't got it.  I have noticed there is a plastic cover in the
headlining, is the nut for manual operation under this?

thanks

Yes, this is the location of the manual winder, if you dont have a crank
then a suitably sized alan key will do fine, make sure you dont scratch the
headlining!
