    Convertible Hardtop Issue

    Good morning, New 2014 F33 owner. I was attempting to add a backup camera the car. I did not leave enough slack in the wire and upon opening the top it prevented the top from opening. I quickly recognized the issue and stopped the top. Now the issue is the top won't go up or down. Is there a fuse? I do not believe that the wire stress would be enough (in like 3 seconds of use to damage the motors/lift mechanism). I would love your ideas. I would take it to the BMW dealer but with it half way open I am not sure how to have it towed there even.

    Thanks,
    Scfishman

    You could check the fuses if that does not work tow it

    When I first got my 2015, I asked if there was a way to close the top if and when it jammed open. Dealer said there was. I’d call but I wouldn’t drive the car with the roof ajar. I’m sure that would cause damage.
