Hi All,
Only had my Z4 2 weeks, finally getting a bit of time to give it a going over. Couple of queries:
Someone has had some of the trim off of my centre storage console before & broken the trim.
The button for the manual roof release is just loose with no springs, all of the plastic clips to hold the springs and to clip it into the car are broken, plus only 1 screw at the bottom. The storage door opened on 1st few uses but when i explored what the top button did it all pinged apart. There's 1 potentially ok option on ebay but I'm begrudging £60 for a piece of plastic. Any options to resolve this other than buy another trim?
There's a loose cable, is this part of the roof opening mechanism? Should this be under more tension? Thankfully my roof motor works & is relocated so hopefully I wont need the manual roof release but good to know if its broken.
Is this what the inside of this storage cubby is meant to look like? Obviously in the middle is where the CD changer would go, I assume the loose cables would be for that if fitted? The bottom section with bare metal doesn't look right though?
My light is loose & actually doesn't appear to work. Although having removed the trim & left it off the car for a few days with the storage door open, I learnt that leaving this open will be a battery drain from the light even if not working as the car was completely dead this morning!
Finally, my scuttle panel has perished & is breaking up. Can see there's some second hand on ebay so will replace it, but how important is this to sort? Water will be able to get down under it currently, is that going to cause problems or is this just a cosmetic thing to fix as & when?
Any advice on this lot will be greatfully received!
