Roof won't close

Hi Smurfalot
How did you get on with your repair? Do you know why the motor failed, was it water ingress like mine?
You will be delighted you got the longer warranty, the hydro unit plus associated gubbins comes to over £700 +vat.

Nah, wasn't water ingress. Having to replace fuse unit in the boot too, so poss blew a fuse when the motor packed up. May have been on its way. Car is an 09 plate.
Warranty doesn't cover the entire unit, only the motor within the unit. Pedantic.
However, total bill is £900, and they are picking up a chunk of it.
Will just have to leave the EDT & auto box service, I was considering, until another time lol.

I know this is years later but hopefully it helps someone. I have a 2003 Z4 E85, all of a sudden roof top wouldn't latch to the windshield, sounded like the motor was trying but it wasn't turning output shaft at all. Took the motor apart and found the gears were broken, you can order new gears from amazon that are metal(linked below), instead of the plastic ones BMW used for whatever reason. Hope this helps someone!
