Really helpful, honest and humble! I really like that you don't edit out how you learn along the way, it makes it really good to see that so gives me the confidence to give it a go too. Thanks so much.
This was so helpful my friend, you saved me thousands. I was able to pull motor out, that was sitting in greasy water. I sprayed it WD 40, cleaned it with fine brush, and dried it with my leaf blower. CAN'T BELIEVE IT, works faster, and better then ever..thanks so much 👍
So you simply cleaned the original motor? You did not buy the replacement?
@Greg Modde I actually tried this and it worked. :)
Glad it helped
I was wondering if drying it was an option. Is it still working?

@5:25 Nice video. One question - how did you pull the motor out without cutting the three zip ties including the one you cannot see at the back bottom of the motor?
Top has been off before. You can see tape on top cover is not original
If your pump aint been out before dont waste your time... It aint gonna budge.
How do you get the shelf clips back in ?
Looks like they go in from the top.
Having a problem with same car but motors work top just doesn’t go up or down
Worst design ever. BMW engineers were drinking on the job. 🤦♂️
I’ve finally relocated my motor to the trunk on left side behind taillight, I bought two 3 foot Hydraulic cables and all four lines fit perfect,
I added wire to 12 volt line. Tucked it all upwards. However, I was able to take the Top off in 10min after doing that 7 times.
Great video. Everyone says take off top. You showed the the right way. Thank you again.

Glad it was helpful!
Hey just dump like that I'll over the oily trunk ,them off ?? Top of new motor. Nice job do you have a bench ,
were did you relocated?
Good
Where is your location
Brilliant video/info, thanks for taking time to make this much appreciated from here in the UK, i got same problem with my roof but now you have given me confidence to give the repair a go myself.
Did you try it? if so, was it difficult and where did you get your part. The link he provided seems to be no longer available. Mine makes the sound that it is going back but doesnt. I think mine has gotten soaked with water.
Way to go! Verry helpful! clear and simple!
awesome!...makes it look far easier than i thought it would be....thanks!
Did you put the Pump back to the same spot you pulled it put from or in a different location?
Yes, will be better to relocate the pump !!!
@@firstautomotivechannel6677 can we order full parts or have to order just motor
Maty I uk 🇬🇧they love for that job what you dan bless 🙌
How did you relocate the motor inside the trunk? The last shot of the motor it was just hanging over the shelf bracket by the hydraulic lines. Did you put it back in the housing and mount it in the trunk somehow?
Mount it in the trunk!!!
I did everything the right way but I’m not getting any power at all from the front motor to open the top
I had that and the sensor at the back of the boot wasn’t engaged properly, so I just bunged it up with paper and that then worked?
super toute l'huile hydraulique sur la moquette.....et sur l'axe qui est parti il y a un ressort!!
Thanks for the video and showing the attempt to rebuild the motor.
Thanks
When you connect the motor how you know which is the positive and negative ??
Red wire is positive black wire is negative
I need help! So I changed the motor but its not the motor what are the chanses is the converible folding top control unit? And also how much hydraulic oil should I put... Half ways the little container?
I was told the hydraulic fluid should be 3/4 full. Did you have to get the air out of your hydraulic lines? Mine is not working either and I'm curious.
@@tim-hillno - the system is self bleeding.
Hey guy, thank you very much for this how to video on replacing the convertible top motor. Life saver info and big cost saver too. Thank you friend.
Glad it helped
All that water tho'
thanks mate .legend
I think it would be harder to get a pump out like this which has never been disturbed - it’s also awkward doing it in the boot (trunk) like this. It’s a longer but easier (for pump handling purposes) and cleaner job taking the roof off. This is a great time-saving tip if the motor has been out before though.
Anyway, I have an issue where my roof goes up and down when it’s out of the car but not when it’s fully fitted. The motor is the right way up, the sensor at the back is fine, the manual release lever is fine and the hydraulic lines are not obviously pinching. I’m at a total loss! If anybody has any other ideas, these would be much appreciated! Somebody has suggested that some of the electric wires might have snapped within the loom...
Nice work is my next mission thanks for the helpful tips
so i did all that and my top has a hard time coming up i have to assist it any thhoughts
How do you seperate that part from the motor? Mine is stuck
Dealer just quoted me $2,200 today.
I need thus done on my z4 where are you located
Thanks
Welcome
Can you fix mine as well please? 😏
You the man big bro
Just yesterday took the whole roof off a second time. Good tip if the third time comes up. Thank you. 👍🏼
Glad it helped!
Hi excellent video just a question its only one motor to change ?
Yes, correct
Great job on both the fix and video, you da man
Thanks 👍
I am haveing alot of trouble getting the cap off! I took the tape off but it seems like stuck or something. Any thoughts on why this is
Id try to fit a phone with camera to try and get a better look
Just did mine today struggled for about 2 hours used a small pri bar and eventually got the plastic top off with great deal of difficulty . Although after that motor was easy to pull out , cleaned it up dried it topped up fluid and left it hanging in boot works again 😃!!!! I'm not putting it back in it original place just need to fix it so it's not hanging on pipes and thrashing about
Lots of tape.....I used something to pry it up while I removed the tape....took a few minutes longer than I would have liked but with it being held up I was able to get the tape off and then the cap
