Soft top motor fix and relocation without removing the roof

Post by Debell192 » Mon May 31, 2021 1:23 am

Hello all,

My Z4 suffered from the common fault with a corroded roof motor from the housing filling up with water.

Usually a garage will remove the entire roof to get access to the motor costing a lot in labour time, instead I found I could access the motor from the boot which will save you money.

I hope this video helps show how you can do this yourself, I’ve seen a lot of videos that are quite vague so hopefully this will give you a clear and concise guide of how to do it.
