Good afternoon y'all, i need a lil help...my lil bimmer is a convertible, i was told when i bought it that the roof motor was burnt out due to it getting wet...ive since found out that isnt the case cuz i havent found any water signs. I have pulled the handle under the back seat to lower the roof. From what ive read is its a fully automatic roof, and theres a special way to manually lower the roof...My hope is to lower the roof, reposition the motors and try a reset...but...for some reason, when i use the allen key to unlock the roof from the windscreen, thats as far as it goes...i know its supposed to go further so i can move the back window, but it seem to be stuck...Do i need to keep going unwinding with the allen key to release the roof...thank you in advance...
