DO YOU STILL SELL THESE? What about the 3 prongs that were on the plastic cover? Does your new aluminum plate have these prongs needed to hold the gear wheel in? Also, where can I get new gears? WITHOUT ASKING THE STEALERSHIP! Thanks, on the great video!
What does the metal cover do that the plastic bmw one doesn't please? I'm just about to change my motor after diagnosing it as the reason my boot separator doesn't want to close properly
Wouldn't aluminium cover destroy the teeth faster? - isn't plastic cover a sort of bumper in case the motor can't move the roof - thus it makes noise while jumping teeth on the plastic?
I know it’s been a year. I did. It was coming from water getting into the convertible top compartment and then leaking into the rear, to the trunk, and settling in the spare well. I got a wire hanger and un clogged the two drain holes that are underneath the convertible mounts. There’s a couple videos on it. After that no water so far. Even if it doesn’t help you hope it helps someone else.
hey, Quick question maybe you can help me On my E46 soft top everything works as it should when opening it, only when the rear flap goes down there's still 1 centimeter left gap because the lock does not close. The motor in the middle works properly. Could you possibly help me? Best regards
Hi. I bought your cover. Didn’t get to replacing it yet. Do you recommend lubricating the underside of your cover (there’s a plastic pass there) with some sort of grease? Thank you
Hi. I had to modify your cover slightly, because my cast case is slightly bent on top. Cleaned and lubricated all, did some other small trucks, installed it today - and the top is working!!!! Thank you for a great product.
Hello Jay that you for the purchase and I’m sorry to hear that your still having issues. After removing the original plastic cover, the ring gear just pulls out and then you can just turn it to catch new teeth on the gear. Maybe more is going wrong there as you stated. I’m happy to help. Message me through eBay if you have more issues. Thank you again.
Hell Fahad, no the top can be closed also during the process. It was just easier to video with the top open. Thank you and good luck. I’m here to help.
Thank you for the video. What happens if you accidentally adjust the two cables? I think I may have adjusted the cables when I replaced mine with a new motor. With the new motor, I still can't open and close my convertible top. I took it to a BMW repair shop and they couldn't scan the code either. When you click on the open/close buttons, othing moves. Red light flashing. Don't hear any noise from the motor either. Can't open the trunk either. The trunk can only be opened with the key. Any ideas what could be the problem?
Samsaolong Giada : i’m sorry to hear that. Is the top open or closed? Do you need to close it and open it all the way in either direction manually otherwise the sequence will be off. If it’s open and close it by hand completely and then try to open it electronically if it’s closed open it manually you’ll have to use the hand crank. You can find a UA-cam video on how to do this. Lastly if you can open the booth as in the U shaped cover You can look for frayed wires on the driver side hinge location. If you Google frayed wires on E 46 convertible top you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about.
Hi there, thank you for the video, it is very informative. I am having problems trying to find the aluminium cover on ebay. Are they still available and if so do you ship to Australia? Cheers
Hello thanks for the question. I sell them on eBay. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=303499671964&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111
Why do all these videos only *talk* about how the motor goes into the housing but don't *show* it? LoL Everyone makes the video after the motor is installed, and the motor isn't being shown! I guess I'll figure it out once I take it apart.

Excellent explanation. PS. Nice car.

Have you gotten water in your spare tire well?
