Hello guys,
E89 Z4 convertible top begins to open, then stops hen the rear window is only part way lifted. The display in the car show a red image of my door windows. When I turn car off the window goes back down and I can use the other button to lock it in place.
Is there anyone having the same issue? How to solve this problem?

You need a code reader to identify the problem, probably a hall sensor fault.

Is there a restriction on the search function for new members with problems?

Yes - a mental restriction.
Search is a brand new invention, and it's concept has clearly not yet propogated through the new member population.

Get a code reader, that will help you pinpoint the issue.markperalez wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 3:53 am Hello guys,

Once you get the error codes you can search for them on here, there will likely be a detailed thread about it with a solution.
Roof fixes can be very cheap or very expensive, without a code reader it’s difficult to know where to start.
As your roof is functioning and is stopping part way through the sequence, it’s possibly a microswitch or sensor not allowing the next phase of the roof operation to continue. It could also be cracked wiring. There are a couple of common places this can occur.
You can get a cheap code reader as long as it’s BMW compatible, I think I paid about £15-£20 for mine when diagnosing the roof issue.
Good luck!
