Well known, but unfortunately useless.
You can't mount additional lines in parallel to the broken ones.

In general, all 4 hoses have to be replaced, if you won't disassemble the roof several times in the next year. The hoses are taped into the loom and can't be simply replaced.

I was a little surprised to hear the e89 used 14 hoses in that link :o

Perhaps some later models need different length hoses. So 14 hoses but only 12 on any given car.
