Hi Mohamed

Welcome to the Forum

Not a Convertible owner but here goes

1. Is there a reset procedure ? There normally is for sun roofs so it's logical there should be one for the roof.

2. Have you checked fluid levels as I believe they are hydraulic?

3. Are all the sensors clear ?

Can you get the codes read that will tell you and us a lot.

On the bright side the sun is shining

Hi Mohamed

Check 2 websites 

1. www.realoem.com this is a BMW parts website but it has some great exploded drawings that should help with location. Put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box and it will bring up your model.

2. www.newtis.info This is a BMW technical information site BMW Dealers use the same information for service and repair.

Sorry best help I can give as I am not a Vert owner.

Good Luck 

Dave
