Wow, perfect, congratulation!

The two T20 screws you mentioned are connecting the motor with the hydraulic unit, right?

The hydraulic circle is a closed system, where no water can get in. If you remove the motor from the hydraulic unit in the middle, oil will run out and you should renew this o-ring. What about the hydraulic level in the reservoir on the left? You can take ZHM from Febi to fill it up, if required.

What about the current fault codes?

so i had water in the trunk again with the same roof problems i attemped to fix it by replicating what i did before and now the roof doesnt go down and i dont hear the motor running. i am getting a green light on the roof button but a red rooftop icon on the dash. the error code i am getting is 00a694. when i took the motor off the hydraulic unit some pins were beneath the o ring?. also would you happen to know what kind of oring it is so i can replace it.

69 x 3,00 mm NBR70

Yes, there are some "pins" (6 or 7?) in a "wheel" on the hydraulic side of the pump, not on the motor's. None of them may be lost!

A694: Microswitch 'cowl panel reached'
Very rarely source of an issue in our E89, as it sits on top of the windscreen.
