Roof failure
Probably find the Audi owners figured out the BMW part was only 18 quid so there was a run on them. BMW got wise and jacked the price up to meet the new demand.... (yes, paranoid thinking again).
I suspect that could be illegal here - to go from 18 to 196 without some major justification. Have to prove the old price though, and since I've never bought one from BMW, I couldn't.

Dietcokeman might have a few, he’s been known to fix these roofs.

I'm actually just replacing some hoses on one right now, and the hall sensors DO have a small locking tab on the connector, it needs to be pushed from the small hole on the back to release..

A hall sensor acts like a position detector, the roof mechanism only carries out its sequence after each separate motion has been detected/proven to have taken place. This enables the next stage to take place.ihadablackdog wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 9:11 pm What does a hall sensor do?
...and how likely am I to have to know?
That’s my understanding of it anyhow

Well you could drop dead at the wheel, but i wouldn't have sleepless nights over it.
If you get the roof as far as stowing in the boot, the boot lid will eventually fall under gravity as the hydraulic pressure eases, but won't lock.
Just have to drive with it going bong.
