I've got a different problem with the roof jerking when it opens. The roof opens just fine, it just jerks when it opens. I don't know if something is stuck inside or what happened. Just started all of the sudden. Anyone else experienced something similar? Any suggestions welcomed! Nadia | | | 10-25-2006, 12:17 AM | #2 | islander on the mainland Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 286 | Could be a motor issue or something in the track causing the roof to stick in certain places. Probably best to start with the easier, less expensive options and try checking the track and ribs of the roof to make sure there's nothing causing it to stick or jerk. Then you can think about changing out the motor. And as a last resort, you can replace the entire unit. I had my motor die out on me, and because my top was scratched up a bit and a few of the ribs were broken, I replaced the whole thing. Things are much better now, but it did cost nearly $2000 when it was all done. __________________ moku 1996 318ti Cali Top w/ Downing/Atlanta Supercharger 2003 M3 w/ CSL trunk, splitters, & diffuser | | | 10-25-2006, 03:00 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Milwaukee, WI Posts: 43 | I had the same problem and it was the motor. It was a jerky motion like one of the drive gears was missing a tooth. It is a easy replacement, just a couple of bolts holding the motor in place. The trim piece covering the motor is just velcro fastened to the roof. I got my replacement from Bell Imports for $203 plus shipping. | | | 10-26-2006, 03:00 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 3 | 2002mcs; That's exactly what it sounds like! I was just afraid to invest in a motor and not have it be that! Thanks, I think I'll have my dad take the motor out and we'll see if that is the case. | | | 10-19-2014, 04:56 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2013 Location: california Posts: 4 | i've had a similar problem with my cali top and it resulted in a couple diff repairs over the years. First was simply the motor wearing out - i've replaced the motor on mine a couple times. This past summer the pulley system that moves the roof needed replaced which was $$. Now one of the ribs that secures the headlines is no longer staying attached. Curious if any of you have had this problem and would recommend best fix? | | | 10-19-2014, 06:03 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | I know the jerkiness is typically the motor loosing teeth on the plastic gears. I have a pulley issue to repair on one of my spare tops. Don't know about the ribs detaching yet. 😎 1998 & 1997 318ti Sport Schwartz II 1995 318ti Active Alpineweib III __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!
