Anyone Got A Spare Roof Motor?

[Dave328i]

Guys...

I've discovered that the reason my E36 roof motor is slipping is that some fool has failed to engage the motor properly at some stage and it's stiripped half the length of the teeth off the cog.

The motor is the main roof motor, mounted to the underside of the boot roof.

Does anyone have a burnet out E36 roof motor, with a working drive cog?

The cog is held on by a C clip so could be popped off and posted.

I'm willing to pay a sensible figure for one If I get any offers..

LOL! Dont blame the previous spanner monkey for this!, I have known my E36 cabby from new(its done 30K) and last summer i discovered this fault aswell. The car has never been apart and it makes no sense for this fault to happed,But it did, I think the cog was in the £20ish mark from the dealer.worth gettin a spare C clip aswell because for the life of me i have no idea where mine "pinged" off to!

That's interesting as my local dealer told me it was not available separately from the motor, so I was looking at a £400 plus bill for the whole thing, I'm not paying that obviously.

When i am next at home, i will find the bill as it will have a part number on it
