Another day another z4 roof issue

Post by Rafaaq8 » Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:33 am

Hey
Thanks in advance.

I'm a new z4 2003 3.0 owner, from down under, summer is almost upon us and my roof is siezed.
Basically the roof unlatches and then it goes stiff after a few inches.
I'm not too fussed I'm happy to use it manually.
Iv spent half an hour at different times releasing and and putting back and then re-releasing the Bowden cable (red cable in the boot) and then trying to pressure and push the roof down.

From reading the previous posts and other forums it seems like it is an issue with the Bowden cable not releasing.

How would I go about sorting that out.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Rafaa
