Outstanding video. I was unable to get my top open to do repairs and this video did the trick. Thanks.

Thank you. Having watched this video I'm more informed on how to operate the 2003-2008 Z4 top in case of hydraulic or electronic system failure.

Life saver. Can't believe it just quit working without any warning.

Dude great video ! Clear instructions and could be hands down one of the best out there to explain things better and clearer! Please keep up the channel. Also I havent tried your steps... I do have a question, Would i be able to lower the soft top manually too??

Thank you so much. Your video saved me thousands of dollars on my 2007 Z4. I was going to take it to the BMW dealer when the roof did not close. I am now considering replacing the pump myself after I find a suitable replacement. I've seen videos on RU-vid on how to access and relocate the motor in the trunk.

This is so useful. It's a fault waiting to happen on a day of sunshine and showers. To be honest, I prefer a manual soft top like the ne my Z3 had fitted. I'll source a 4mm Allen key and ratchet and keep it in the car.

Thanks dawg

@quietenglishman4179 3 года назад

Very helpful. This looks like a problem waiting to happen. Of course I need to source a 4mm Allen key as the previous owner had "lost" the tool kit. Or sold it on E Bay, along with the owner's manual. And the wind deflector... what's the matter with people?

Awesome

@jonathandavies7818 3 года назад

Thanks. I've had my e85 for yrs and didn't know I could put the roof up manually. I'm guessing the instructions will be in the manual

@alfredguinto1976 4 года назад

That’s exactly my problem I put it on manual and good to go! Not sure if it’s worth it to fix the hydraulic!

@alexmatheny9295 3 года назад

When i do the alan key method to close it because my latch motor is bad, it will get it latched up to a certain point but not fully, theres still a little gap between the top and the windshield where its not fully latched like normal.

@vkhken1966 27 дней назад

Should you relock the hydraulics in the trunk after you latch the top

@Pinballroomcville 12 дней назад

What if that doesn’t work? My release cable doesn’t appear to do anything

@vimalpatel4655 4 года назад

Any idea on how to fix this problem?

@joehudson9876 2 года назад

Great video really helped! Only question is when I pushed the red clip bacon does that re initiate the hydraulics

@yoshiibarra2103 2 года назад

I’m on the same boat brotha

@user-ld6wg7gh8i Год назад

My top is open and will not close. I am having a problem apparently with the red bypass mechanism. After I pull the tab, I cannot manually pull the top up. It feels like the hydraulics are still engaged?

@mattbox8527 3 года назад

I had the same problem where the top would not go up and the motor didn’t sound but once I put it up manually, it locked with no problem. Any idea what that could be

@RyanW413 3 года назад

Can you use the manual to open as well?

@bobjames2423 3 года назад

Fantastic video sir. Thank you for taking the time to educate us:}

@clarencegarrett5691 2 года назад

I on a 2008 soft top BMW Z4 the convertible top when opening it does not open and lock down completely what is my problem now what could cause this problem Andy the opening of the south top convertible

@Whatthezdo 3 года назад

How to it the other way around ? My top stuck on the place I can’t open it

@maxgrimes5273 4 года назад

I'm curious - are you able to open the top manually with the procedure reversed? Thanks a ton!

@RedlineAutoParts 4 года назад

Yes you are!

@chadpowers4582 4 года назад

do you guys know why my red cord is stuck? I Saw another video that just move it the cord and you can manually lower the top without using force.

@hubertskowronek6818 4 года назад

Probably emergency valve on hydraulic pump is blocked (because of corrosion). You must take out your top and repair hydraulic unit, I guess eletric motor in pump is corroded also. If You have more questions write on cabrio.serwis@gmail.com

@JR-kz8vq 3 года назад

I'd like to find someone in the Mid Atlantic area that will put a Mustang convertible top motor in, and relocate it in the trunk to keep failures from happening
