If you like convertible BMWs as I much as I do, you know how expensive it is to maintain a BMW retractible roof if you take it to a dealer. I’ve always been in a mindset of ‘do it yourself’, so in this video I go over the process of troubleshooting as well maintaining a BMW Z4 convertible retractable hardtop roof. This exact same method will work on any hardtop convertible BMW such as BMW e93 (3-series), BMW F33 (4-series), BMW F83 (M4 Convertible) and parts of it will work on the soft tops as well. We will be conditioning all of the seals, lubricating the hinges and all moving parts and joints. Going over the microswitches and hall sensors and eliminating any squeaks, rattles, water and wind penetration. Keep your convertible in tip top shape, moisturized and lubricated with some lithium grease.

Great video! Thank you for posting this!
What mods would you do to the n20 motor before taking it out in the track?
Cheers buddy, thanks for the tips and adviceđź‘Ť
Very nice content. I just want to ask where did you find the instructions that you claim that they are on the manual of bmw so you detailly followed different steps in each part?
I love cars wth no B pillars, 2 door life baby✌✌…
It would have been nice if you had also shown us how to get the roof sections in the partially open position in order to get to the seals and hinges. All I know is which button will fully retract the roof and which button will close the roof.
Great demonstrations. Btw, where do you get your configuration sheets that shows all parts and locations?
Great videos any thing on how to clean the drainage, the one's in the front pillar and in the roof it self?
2:50 why was your finger wet after you checked the unit ? What is the correct level for the fluid and why did you not show us ? Good tips about the car, but detailed information…like having that bar removed prior to the video was needed so you could pull the unit out and shows us, seeing how you researched and checked with your friends and all before doing this video.
This is lovely video! I just purchased my first convertible (3 series 2009) and I can see some bronze “oil” all over the hinges. I have been driving for around a month now and putting roof up and down even few times a day. It doesn’t make any sound and seems quite smooth, but it’s not a new car so do you recommend me doing this maintenance just to make sure all is done properly? Also, should I do valet first to clean it all, and won’t they do all this for me then at the car wash? Hope you can advice!
