Don't worry - not about the motor going. Mine works fine every time (touch wood). My question surrounds the closing of the roof. When I do so, the windows lower, roof comes over and latches in but the windows do not fully return to the position they were in while I had the roof open. Is this normal? I can't imagine BMW would have overlooked this?
Roadster roof question
- Thread starter Rich88
- Start date
Rich88, there is a memory setting of sorts. There has been previous posts on this. Every now and again I do mine. Start with your drivers window. With the roof closed, key in ignition and select position 2 without starting the engine, hold finger down on window button. When window down fully keep button pressed for no more than 5 second and release. Then raise the window keeping finger under the switch, when window fully up again keep finger under button for no more than 5 seconds. Repeat with passenger window. Switch ignition off and remove key. Next start your car and try your roof. With mine windows drop half way stop roof opens stops in lower position keeping finger on roof down button windows should now come back up together. Once there up release button. Revers action to close roof.
Good luck.
Good luck.
When I lower the roof using the button inside the car, the windows go partly down while it's opening, then return to fully up as the finale of the operation. It's similar when I raise the roof from the interior button.
On the other hand, if I lower the roof from outside the car by holding down the open button on the key fob, the windows go all the way down and stay there. I don't mind, in fact I prefer it that way. But it seems odd that BMW should go to the trouble of programming the two modes differently.

Well does not seem BMW have not changed this from the E85/6 to the E89 mine does exactly the same from the button in the cab the windows go half down and close up when the roof goes up or down but when I open the roof from the key fob the windows stay down. I have also had some strange half way actions and one window closing and one staying open. Weird
Right - this is frustrating me no end! My passenger window goes up automatically with one press, my driver's side does not. My passenger window will close when I close the roof, my driver's window will not. I believe my driver's window does go all the way down with one press of the button but that's it.
Can anyone provide a definitive solution as to how to match my driver's window to my passenger window. I have tried the following.
1. Turn key to position 1.
2. Lower driver's window fully and continue to hold button for over 10 seconds (no click heard).
3. Raise window fully and continue to hold switch for over 10 seconds (no click heard).
4. Turn ignition off and remove key.
5. Start car.
6. See if window has sorted itself (it hasn't).
I know it's only small and basically a non-issue but I dislike feeling like I've been defeated by a car!
