How to identify the problem of a Fiat 500 convertible top that does not close completely.

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Convertible top

In this video, we see that there were problems with the folding mechanism of the Fiat 500 convertible, which couldn't close completely. The YouTuber then disassembled the mechanism in order to access the roof rewinding area where there are some fins, which are indicated and where a visible pin should slide upwards and stop behind a stopper. However, to close it, it was necessary to lift the entire mechanism, which is fine if you need to close it in an emergency situation, but if you need to close it normally, it's not good, the stopper must be adjusted so that it slides upwards, so that the pin slides and stops behind the stopper, it must not jump over it. By sliding the mechanism several times and then reading the comments, we discovered that the pin must be reinserted into its socket and in this way the roof not only closes completely but also has no difficulty in opening.
