Hi everyone, New to the forum although I've used it for a few solutions I needed. Thanks everyone for this helpful website. My problem is that I have a 1995 ragtop 318i and the top will not open fully. I pull the latch, lift it up 8-10 inches and lift the rear as I pull the driver side latch. I can hear and feel something pulling but meither the left or right side unlocks. Does anyone know how to release it if maybe the latch is broken? I know it has a trunk lock in it so if the trunk is open you cannot release the top. I don't know if this is malfunctioning or if it's the pull release on the drivers side panel by the rear seat. I'm ripping the car apart as we speak, have removed the trunk covers and the rear seats and now I'm going to remove that side panel and possibly the rear deck. I don't know what I'm looking for at this point but if someone could help me I'd much appreciate it and if I figure it out by my lonesome I'll post my solution. Thanks everyone...Happy Motoring!
