 2.8 soft-top Problem



Hi All,

Need help on this.... I have a 98 2.8 Z3.. The car is excellent, love it to bits but I am having intermittent problems with the roof which is stopping when going down then will start again after a minute or when down will not come back up.

Any help, advice will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Neil

From what I have read, the micro switch in the top fails......It sounds like this could cause your problem. It is the switch that activates when you unlatch the top and push it up the first few inches......Not sure where it is located but as I understand, this switch failure is common...

A search on this forum should reveal some threads on it.....

Good luck
Chris
