Roof Not Working

[coen]

Hi there, I’ve had my z4 (2004 3.0i) for just over 3 weeks.
However, when I tried to put the roof down earlier today, it unlatched from the windscreen, the windows went down slightly as usual, yet it didn’t go any further than that.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
For context, it worked perfectly up and down yesterday/ last night.

Motor is likely swamped if it’s in its original location

Where are you based there are plenty of us on here who can help you fix it

I’m Lincoln so not far

Other roof gurus are available of course and you are free to shop around

Do you have any warning lights showing on the switch?

As we all do basically the same job I would say you may as well use @bigwinn. Certainly not worth driving past him to get to me for example.

Well if that's the case there's a mug born every minute!
Good luck.
No doubt @bigwinn will see it eventually when you need the kinked hydraulic pipes or dislodged hall sensors sorted out.

Regardless I’d say Bigwinn is a good person to know longer term and a better bet when you need more help. That 4 hour round trip will get monotonous eventually
