A207 Roof wont go back up
HI All, new to MBWorld. I've had my 2015 A207 from 3 months old and its never missed a beat. Today I put the roof down and it operated perfectly, however the roof will now not go back up.
I can hear a click if I press the button to go down but nothing for it to come back up. I have checked the hydraulic fluid and its on minimum when roof open and is the same now I've manually closed it.
All help will be gratefully received. thanks

Over a year later, I hope you found your problems. The little that I've learned. Info on the A207 is slim to none, so I've learned from the C-Class. The hydraulic pump is located in the trunk, behind the drivers rear tire well. In the C-Class the pump has the hose plate mounted vertically (it's horizontal in my 2017 A207). The C-Class has a 40A fuse mounted basically on the wheel well. If it's blown, look to get the pump rebuilt as there is a problem. A new fuse will also blow. My car has no visible fuse near the pump. The green power wires run to the seat back, then across to the passenger side, where there is a control module. Still haven't located a fuse yet. If you have info, please add it as it will help others in the future.

Got it fixed
Well, I learned that if it's not obvious, bring it to someone that can diagnose it. I pulled my pump and sent it for a un-needed rebuild. I found a local repair shop that works on European cars, BMW/MB. He knows how, and has the equipment to follow the bazillion switches that trigger to control the roof operation, and he knows their location(s). In my situation, the roof wouldn't go down. He found two different switches that stopped working. I think the total was around a grand, with it mostly labor in doing the troubleshooting.
