Slow roof operation - or working as intended ?

[Dake]

Just picked up my Zed this weekend. Over the moon to finally have it. I've been looking for years for a 30i manual Melbourne Red.
The trunk is very slow indeed to close I went to look at another car that had the same hesitation to close.

Are they just supposed to be like this or have I found two with the same illness ?

Looks about right to me.

That roof works absolutely correct. There is an intended short stop before the lid gets finally closed.

Thanks just what I wanted to hear
It's just very different in operating speed compared to my E93.

@RobbiZ4 I see you mentioned something about higher pressure in 2012 models in the hydraulic roof thread. Mine's a 2011 as I didn't want any turbos so will have the old setup.
Any input on operating the roof at (low) speed?
I would definitely consider installing a roof module to enable operating upon driving. It sucks having to stay at a complete standstill when the roof isn't fast enough to finish at a red light.
From the same thread this guy uses a top module often but that's obviously just one sample.

Tip:
Replace the old salmon relays asap by new ones. More details in the following thread:

Hi Dake,

That looks perfectly fine in my opinion. Don't worry!

There is a hall switch on the right cylinder that triggers a pause to stop the boot slamming down.
