Hello everyone, I'm a new driver and recently acquired a Citroen C3 Pluriel from my brother that now lives abroad.
The thing is, the trunk wasn't opening and I was told opening the roof would solve this. I opened the roof (with difficulty) to the middle and I couldn't open it all neither the trunk, as I panicked I tried to close the roof and it wasn't working, did some pressure and accidentally broke something on the right side of the roof (some kind of slide).
Found later that with a simple smack in the trunk it would close normally and now I'm left with a car with its roof not completely closed and that could have water get inside.
Could someone tell me which parts are sold and where and some guidance to fix it?
Broke some piece of the Pluriel roof and now it won't close right

Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?

Can you find the part on any of the diagrams attached?
These Pluriel diagrams were dotted across the forum and now they are in one place. If you can say the number and which diagram, I will see what the part number is for you.

T, U, V and W come as a complete unit called 'interslide'
8401.HV INTERSLIDE LEFT
8401.HW INTERSLIDE RIGHT
They were changed in production at some point and the only place to get the set, new would be a Citroen parts department.
