Pop-up dead

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Can the pop-up's be lowered/raised manually? My passenger-side pop-up is completely dead...

Yes! There's a little white wheel behind each motor, in the engine bay. :wink:

probably best.ive tried fixing one on my last car.but isnt guaranteed to work.the motor can come apart.but depends on how much you want to piss about.they can seize up at the shaft,contact strips in the gearbox become poor,commutator get grotty.if not too bad you can sand things clean with fine grade paper and regrease.

To add insult to injury some dickhead decided to kick in the dead pop-up last night, breaking the bracket type thingy on each side... :(

Hello there david..

I have the parts you require i think....

I removed the rest of the light units and just have the motors and the brackets i think you are on about...

Photo'd here is drivers and passenger side motors and brackets, if this isnt the parts you need then please contact me explaining which parts you need...
