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.

Looks like you are heading to the z shed according to FB

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

That’s a bit roofless

Hi all,
Just joined the group as I also have now been struck down with the roof failing on my Z4.
Thought I'd try this thread first before starting yet 'another another roof thread!', so hoping that there's someone on the South Coast who can help out with replacing the motor as I'm in the Brighton area.
Fingers crossed and any recommendations gratefully received.
Thx.
