Folding roof fault on 307 CC

My wife owns a 2004 Peugeot 307 cc; however, the folding roof has failed - something to do with the catches close to the windscreen. My local dealer has quoted £1500 to rectify the problem.

It failed whilst being operated whilst in Truro and the AA managed to get it closed- I think there is a manual way of doing this (I was not present and my wife is not mechanically minded). Our local independent (to his credit) refuses to touch something 'he knows nothing about'.

Can you recommend somebody we can go to, preferably close to mid-Cornwall.

If you're still in Truro, a piece of slightly good news. The best people in the country for sunroofs are: www.bristolsunroofs.co.uk/
