Why doesn't the hood of the Smart 450 close?
Years 1998-2007

Answer

The roof of the Smart 450 does not close because the sensor connected to the roof is very sensitive and, as soon as it 'feels' that it is making an effort, it stops. It could depend on the folds of the roof itself, if they bend downwards instead of upwards, it stops. Help it with your hands.
