E89: Retractable Hardtop (roof) Maintenance
I managed to change my roof motor without taking the roof off, but now the roof motor is in the front of the boot in a plastic pot. I can't get the emergency release cable out as it seems to be stuck down the side of the roof motor enclosure. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the enclosure out as it is still half full of water, due to the previous owner not sealing the enclosure properly? There seems to be a plate at the front side of the lower enclosure that is bolted in.

It's absolutely no recommendation, as his fault is a constructed one before he starts his diagnosys!
You'll hardly ever be able to follow his instruction on a real world fault.
But yes, it's funny to view.

With your bump (thread has been bloody helpful to me) a quick question. I'm a few pints in, you mention the 2x salmon relays and the 2x microswitches. The hall sensors, can't remember how many there are, are they included in the hydrolic harness or something separate?

Please switch over to the hall sensor section, as this HowTo section should not be used for discussions.
Thanks.

Tomorrow on Black Friday Leebmann24 offers a general reduction of 10%.
That will be interesting for a new Hydraulic harness, which many of us require to buy in the next years:
"Set, hydraulic line with wiring harness" - 54377311084
https://www.leebmann24.de/satz-hydrauli ... 11084.html
What about shipping and custom fees to the UK? Does that make sense at all?

Does this fit all variants of roof versions?
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Thanks. Then it might be cheaper buying it directly in the UK.
Yes, the current "version" of the harness fits for all Z4 E89.
