Chevrolet SSR roof malfunction, unable to raise on Chevrolet SSR

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet SSR owners report experiencing roof malfunctions where the retractable hardtop is unable to raise, often attributed to issues with the Roof Door Module (RDM) that controls its operation. Additionally, dirty switches may hinder the roof's functionality, and cleaning them can potentially resolve the problem. Frame flexing, particularly on uneven ground, can also affect roof operation, and some owners have found that installing a Trailblazer cross member helps mitigate this issue. Furthermore, many owners turn to online repair guides and informational videos created by experienced SSR enthusiasts for step-by-step troubleshooting and repair instructions. These resources can be invaluable in addressing and resolving roof malfunctions effectively.
