E93 Roof Rattle Fix: Common Problem on BMW 3 Series Convertible Part 1 

Great video and thanks for mentioning me! I'm also glad that the fix worked for you!

Sal the diyer chad 💪 thank you for all your diy posts, we really appreciate it! You should have way more subs!

wow i really cant thank you enough! I have been putting up with the tin rattle roof for years and was always put off by the one hour crazy videos on how to solve it. I fixed it in 15 minutes watching this video. Tip for everyone regarding what plastic to use - i cut about FOUR OR FIVE strips of plastic (for each side) which come in the packaging for superglue covers. Thanks again!! :))

OMG definitely quieter in the cabin and so much less or almost no rattling from the roof! Thank you so much!! it was easy fix too

This is exactly how to do it without taking any part off. I figure it out myself a few weeks ago and fixed my e93 m3.

Just found your video after narrowing my rattle down to the roof (didn't happen when open) seems to have fixed it! In case someone reads this who's pin came out like mine did they just pick back up with a bit of force (I was panicked 😂) also when finished the pin won't go back up unless the pin is in the correct twisted position. (On mine anyway, non M3 model) thanks 👍

Great Video Sal, thanks for sharing this info.

Another great video👍

Niceee 👌

👍

Cool! I got the same rattle. Thanks for the quick fix! Much appreciated! What kind of grease did you use for the work?

Thanks for this informative video! I have an e93 with roof rattle so was excited to see this. I was able to get the little bolt down and have the roof at that 90 degree service angle but I’m unable to twist the bolt at all. I have an 8mm open end wrench on it and it wont budge. I’m afraid to break anything so not going to force it. Do you twist it clockwise? Or counter? It looks like it should go clockwise to extend the pins, but again - I don’t want to force it and break anything! How hard was it to get your to extend, and which way did you twist?

Hey man, thanks for this video, I slipped just one sliver of plastic on each side and my rattle is still present. Is it worth slipping another piece on each side? How many slivers did you put on each side?

What plastic do you use to slide it into the pin

In 1:47 - I am not able to pull that lever down. It's completely stuck. I found perfect fitting screw and pulled with a lot of force, both with roof closed and half open but it just won't go down. I tried wiggling a little bit to the sides to somehow unjam it but nothing. Any idea why?

What was the size (dimensions, x by x) of the plastic pieces you used?

How many pieces did you stick in there so far?

Where can I find an 8mm wrench like that?

How much to do the job I’ll pay

no before sound?
