- the little red LED light next to the button turns on and stays on - after a second or so, both driver and passenger powered windows go down halfway - a second or so later, the roof motor opens the roof. - when the roof is fully opened/stowed, the windows go up again, and I let go of the button and the red led light goes out. Now, this is what by benv6 » Sat Apr 02, 2016 1:15 pm. Hi Guys, I have replaced and relocated my roof motor, the motor works fine but the roof not moving at all. I I have tried taking out and replacing the motor (I have got 2 motors) but nothing moves except the sound of the motor. I tried topping up the oil and checking everything is into place. 4) Keep the hinges and frame clean, and well lubricated. 5) I noticed that MY particular top, when closing, gets to about the 50% position, and then "falls" to the spot where it begins the final "closing" cycle to latch the front down. This "falling" is about 18-24", and it jerks pretty hard when it hits the end. A couple of days ago, the roof stopped working. I've been to a parts shop and had the battery changed. The guy hooked something up to the cigarette lighter to ensure codes/radio settings were not lost. Once fitted, the clock display was still blank and the roof still didn't work. I've since looked on here and been able to reset the clock. The BMW Z4 sDrive28i, BMW Z4 sDrive35i, and BMW Z4 sDrive35is were offered with Kansas leather trim. For the 2013 model, BMW added the sDrive18i version, which used the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Points. 95. Location. South Cumbria. Model of Z. 2.2 Sport Z3 Auto. Dec 16, 2012. #3. I found a very long cable tye great for travelling down the drain hole and dislodging any dirt which was blocking the holes and stiff enough but flexible and narrow enough to follow the contour of the chanel.

Hi all sifu , my z4 e85 soft top open quite fast , the red light still flashes after the roof comes down ( did not hear the clicking soung ) tried pushing it down but it doesnt move at all. was wondering if its ok to drive with the red light blinking at the switch? BMW Z4 - after heavy rain, the roof will not open, the passenger airbag light is on & the indicators will not work. - BMW 2004 Z4 question #2 · Oct 29, 2023 (Edited) Have you “freed” the cowl latch rollers in the window frame that the motor latches into? Sounds like they aren’t turning …… they need to be free to do so (likely the cause of your CVM high current code). Use some good quality penetrating lubricant. Definitely not coincidence!! The two boot catches were in the shut but not drawn in position (ie; the draw-down motors were not activating) This was due to the right hand microswitch was not receiving 12v. It should receive 12v from the car roof module, but this is were the after-market module is wired in. AV7Ga2o.
