i have found that when the roof is at the angle you want remove the key fob and it won,t move then when finished put key fob back and close roof used the same method to fit my smart top
module

I open the roof with the key fob until its at an angle to stay while I clean the window.

its like russian roulette for getting fingers caught

My roof stops moving the moment I take my finger off the key/button

Thanks Maniac and Jabber

Just cleaned the rear window...as you said open roof with fob to just past centre and close with console button.

Thanks again

get an e86 ... press the roundell , the whole tailgate opens up and clean the inside of the window, another bonus, about 500 less parts to go wrong as the car gets older

It is just as difficult in my E85, might try one of these.

I use newspaper to rub on the windows (all), inside and out. The real windows require some stretch. I'd advise caution to clean it while the roof is partially retracted, as the mechanical force on them may damage the pantographic mechanism.
