Convertible top problem - only one side opening
Hey everyone -
When trying to put the top down on my 2010 convertible the left side rolls back in sunroof mode but the right side stays put. After a fair amount of research and some troubleshooting I am pretty sure the tension cable is bad/broken on the right.
I can find all kinds of stuff for the previous generation but I cannot even find the part number for the cable for the R57. Any help out there?
It is part #9 on this page: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=54_0407

Thats the R52 version and will not work above. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/54347174761/ ONLY for the R52 2005-2008.
https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/54342758076/ is the main cassette and you have to get that or maybe a used one. R57 2009-2015 You cannot get the cables on there own for the R57 MINI Convertible.
