Just remember, if I can do it you can do it!
Why not do it yourself!
I CANNOT Believe this video popped up just when i needed it.
Why not
@@AutomotiveServiceExcellence its just perfect timing. the BMW community has clamored for a video like this for YEARS. thank you for your work!
@@AutomotiveServiceExcellence It was a compliment to you
Great video step by step fix very good
Thank you
Can’t understand a fucking word but a job well done sir. Sorry about Vietnam
😭😭😭😭😭
Great job. So what I’d the solution to fix those parts. Does the magnet need to go from one fix place and then it moves to the second space. Where should that magnet be placed in order to move to open and close. Was there a broken bracket that the magnet needs to be?
No, the magnet on each sensor
one is opened sensor, another one is closed sensor
the 1cm square metal pice as you can see in video i manually moved it from closed sensor to opened sensor let sensor get the signal send to ecm then pcm will know the roof at opened or closed position then ecm will does the next funtion
That metal pice came off from roof latch
Finaly in this video the roof latches need replaced fixed problem
OMG...Thank you, I've trying to troubleshoot this for 9 months. Great job! Would you be so kind as to share the device and software that you are using? Perhaps you know of a cost effective alternate?
So far I have replaced the broken gears in windshield cowl motor a the l shaped screw arms. They seam to work fine now. Mine were cracked as well
and since I already had it apart why not replace them. I really need get your diagnostic tool. Again thank you.

I was using the Luanch 431v + scanner
@@carronagringa Thank you Leo. What did you finally determine the problem was?
I’d be interested in having diagnose my 2001 BMW 330ci. How can I contact you?
Excellent
I have same problem i did open mine and it was broken the light was flashing like yours could it be the same issue?
What tools do I need to open the cover? Can you provide me a list brother?
Big help
Hi canmi send you my video of my issue with my bmw 120i roof which won't open thanks Trev in cape town south africa
You guys love your videos but when I ask for advice no one replies
I saw your question so in the video no body know what cause that
Sorry Bro!
Great video, thx - What app are you using for diagnostics?
I used Launch 431 + scan tool
What is the tool you using
Is this also how you remove the top seal?
Do you mean the roof latches cover ?
if so, in the video from 11:35 to 12:30
@@AutomotiveServiceExcellence Nope I am referring to the convertible seal (the one that presses up against the windshield cowl seal) did it just slide off once you unbolted the two T bolts on each side?
Hey boss do you know the part number of the sensor because my is missing and that's why my top.its not opening please and thank you so much
No sorry
I don’t remember
Hi my name is Jorge I have the problem dont unlock the latch include I find is jam but Idont open , is posible pull the latch out side thanks
Did you try manually open
Hi if these latches are broken does it leads to electric leaks cz when these latches broke the battery drains
Is there any link between these?!
No
If they are broken they don’t cause draining battery
My left side latch is locked shut.. I tried removing the side and useing a 5mm hex but there is no bolt inside the hole for the 5mm hex! I guess my top is locked for LIFE now.. hahaha
Lol!!!
Do you think I could cut the plastic trim under the latch to get to the bolts to the latch?
No Bro
You need to break loose the screws inside to hold the plastic cover
They are inside the roof cover
@@AutomotiveServiceExcellence ok. Thanks. I might just end up selling the car. This top has me so frustrated. I would be so much happier to get a non convertible. " Dealing with the top leaking and the locking top issues I really don't recommend a convertible bmw. They have a very bad fail rate.
how to replace the plastic when finish
Bro my locks are broken and hydrolic stopped working what should I do now and if must put new where will I get it
Diagnostics the most important
If you sure components are bad just replace them
Before you replace them should know what cause they broken or by time the material quality changed
Just research on google he will bring you some websites sold the parts, eBay has everything

Where can i get the metal magnet ? Mine doesn’t have one
You need to replace the roof latch assembly
Search for ebay
@@AutomotiveServiceExcellence link? I saw one but it said the magnet wasn’t included that i had to remove it from mine and transfer it and i don’t have the magnet
1:15
How can I contact you by email?
I don't understand a word you say.
This is fake videos everything this person he was talking about it not right wondering why this person he made wrong videos like that because there is no sensor on the latch. Don’t believe this videos.
Oh oh NO!
Who tell you the sensors on the latch?
This video just for the mechanics who has high experience on car electrical
The latch build-in with a piece of metal about 1 cm to activate the sensors on travel of the latch to tell ecm the roof at closed or opened position let ecm do the next function
If this piece came off due to broken plastic on the latch ecm doesn’t no roof at what position
You can edit your command when you understand the system work before the people look at you
And again the sensors are not on the latch in this case no need to deal with the sensors just need the new latches
How did you fix it? What keeps the magnet on the sensor?
Replaced the roof latches
