Hood does nothing

Weirdly I just tested my roof after the car had been sitting in the sun and it works again completely fine... I will move the motor into the boot asap to make it more reliable in the future. Good to know the motor isn't ruined though...


Happy you solved just leaving your car under the sun. I have similar strange issue in my z4. (Only Unlatching/latching to windscreen stop working and notice that this motor work fine). But I can found a solution.

I think my fix in the end was a new battery! The previous owner had put one that was no where near man enough an as soon as I replaced it the problem hasn't resurfaced. Can't say for certain that was the fix but seems strange that it's worked!

It sounds like a visit to one of the forum roof motor gurus might be a plan.

If you give an indication of where you are someone will be able to tell you who is nearest to you.

Oh right, a lovely part of the world but the only roof motor specialists I know of are in the UK. :roll:

Maybe this thread might be useful:- https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=85266
 
On another note, welcome to the forum Hmesto. I’m in Farnham here so I’ll be sure to give a wave if I see you. What Z4 do you have? Obviously a roadster but colour and spec? :thumbsup:

Thanks very much, first time I've ever been a part of a forum like this... Seems like a great bunch of people on here!
I've got a 54 plate sterling grey 2.5i and loving it at the moment, struggling to not spend all my money on little upgrades here and there... Waiting on a call to go and collect my refurbed 108's which is very exciting!
