Z4 Retractable Hardtop,


Recommended Posts

Guest Mister Dabsy

Behind one of the front seats is a plastic panel, the conns for the hood-pump should be there... Two positives and an earth in the centre, test to see if there is power as you press the hood switch... If not then the motor is chuffed !!

Common fault when it rains, water collects around the pump and eventually fries it !

To move it manually - In the top-most part of the boot there should be a red handle, pull this about an inch and twist so it stays out... This disengages the motor so you can move the hood ;)

Scuse I Jack,

Have looked behind seats = no panel, nothing visible here - its carpeted right up the rear bulkhead behind the seats,

Searched in boot - can find no handle of any sort,

Under boot floor panel is the battery, and to rear of this is some sort of electrical box with wires heading off to right and left sides of car, and a plastic reservoir underneath this, but cannot see any connection / mechanism linking to the hard top itself.

Are there any technical / workshop manuals on line which may cover this - or have you any further advice please,

Thanks for your time ----- Alan,

Bear with me, I'm on it !!!

(Edit)

Please have a thorough look/hunt in the boot area for a lever of some kind, there has to be one to disengage the motor mech from the hood.

Do you have a Allen tool in the Tool-kit?
