Once you have removed piece 17 it will reveal torx bolts you can remove:

Roof latches issue.

Not sure you have to go that far do you?
If it's the drive shafts you're replacing I 'think' you can remove the motor after piece 17 is off, then slip the shafts out.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
