I have the Cali package on my 1998, replaced the sun roof motor in 2012 and it needs replacing again! Not cheap....

While we're on the subject of the Cali top, how can I close mine when the motor doesn't work? Btw 1998 blue with Cali and ac.

Will the crank work? If it is the gears, open the motor and flip the two gears over that should perhaps help. Hot milk is printing gears in nylon for spares. Look for his 3d printing thread

Thanks I'll try that. And I did read the thread about printi g fears but he didn't get back to me :(

I have a Calitop and A/C. Very rare in the UK as it's an option and not part of the limited 96 run of 100 cars.

'95 white with sunroof (DASC, sport, garage queen)
'97 silver with California Roof (project car)
'97 white, base, with sunroof (daughter's car)

Hey Flying Brick - join our SoCal Vintage BMW group. We have a couple of Tis that join us on drives. Would love to see the DASC car!

Thanks for the invite.:smile: I'll look into it, eventually. So many home projects and car projects needing my attention right now.
