Plastic trim panel covering the roof hinges won't return
I have an E89 z4 and for the first time today the plastic trim panel that covers the hinge for the roof appears to have got stuck and won't return to its usual position. The rest of the roof is still currently working fine. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

I assume its stuck when open is it? They are spring loaded. If its under warranty have the dealer sort it out, if not, show us a photo and we'll try to help..

Sorry to hijack an old thread! A small bit of the roof metalwork shows when the roof us up, just above the end of both doors. Is that normal or should something be covering that?
