Roof not working, please help???????

[neilthomas]

Hi i bought a 04 plate z4c about 2 weeks ago and today had the roof down, ive just pressed the button to close it and absolutely nothing happened, i have pulled the red release thing in the boot and pushed it shut, then pressed the close button and the front catches worked ok, when i press the button now i can hear the motor running in the boot but only the front catches release, can someone help me please???????

Sorry to say your roof symptoms are pretty typical, if you search the site you will find numerous occasions this question has been asked and answered.

You are going to need to remove and either repair or replace the roof motor.

There is a very good write up on a DIY roof removal and motor change.

Did you buy it privately? If you got it from a dealer, don't touch anything, just get it straight back to them.

Good luck!
