New Owner, New Member. Hello everyone I just ran into a car I had to purchase, an O4 Z4. I have had it 2 weeks and have run into my first problem.

I have a soft top and it was running fine until this week. It seemed to struggle to power up and open a couple of times. Then it would just not raise up. Not knowing any better I attempted to help it raise with the power button pushed. It came up by hand (heavy top!) and settled in to the roof where it completed the latch process. The next time I opened it, it unlatched and I simply pushed it open and it flopped into the open position. I can hear everything running but it won’t raise on its own in any direction. It will complete both cycles ( Lock in place) with the button depressed. Any experience to share will be welcome!
 
Hi i had this issue a few years ago and had to replace the roof motor
It's a common problem i got a reconditioned motor online and had it recloated into the boot
 
Sorry to disagree. If you can still hear it running I would suggest your bypass is slightly depressed

Check your red bypass loop is not pulled or locked in any way- as that will make a difference

Obviously get the roof motor relocated if it’s not already been done

The slowness of movement sounds also to me that your bypass is depressed. Either that or your pump head (not motor) is on its way out
 
Sorry I can't help as I've only had E86s, but welcome to the forum. 👍
 
As bigwinn has stated, it also sounds to me like the bypass.
