Here are some links to how the top functions.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...tible-top.html


Make sure both latches unlock. There is a green hall sensor that detects when the top is back. Also I would make sure the pump has power , when the top makes that second phase , the cables goes back a little more then then the latches open up.


Your latches should not open till it gets to that second phase. When you push the button the second time, something is not right. See the operation in the linked videos.

Thanks and good luck.

Hello dear

First thing check the shilf in trank back side if it's correct in position

If its ok try to make adjust for lock sensor - that is location on top of the sunroof motor

Try to move it little right or left
Then check

Good luck

Did you remove the sunroof motor? Or did you adjust it with the top open, or....?

There is no documentation about the lock sensor in alldata, BMW TIS or anything.

Can you please clarify? Thank you.

Thank you, I will check tonight.

This is making me excited...My top has been inop for about a year and half. Sunroof works, convertible top works, but it just refuses to open after the latches unlock. Once I "push" the top by 1", the convertible top kicks in and it retracts.

I believe you are talking about the upper microswitch. At the end of #1 . Up by the motor in the overhead fro the sunroof portion.
