What is the common issue with the convertible top on a BMW Z4?

I have been noticing that my convertible top on my BMW Z4 is starting to have trouble opening and closing smoothly. I have tried to lubricate the hinges but it doesn't seem to be helping. What could be the cause of this issue and what steps can I take to fix it?

Hi Emma! The most common issue with the convertible top on a BMW Z4 is dirt and debris buildup in the hinges and joints. This can cause the top to become stiff and difficult to open or close. I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the hinges and applying a lubricant specifically designed for convertible tops. If the issue persists, it may be worth taking it to a professional mechanic for further inspection.

Hey Emma, I had a similar issue with my BMW Z4. I found that the rubber seals around the convertible top can also become warped over time, causing it to get stuck or not seal properly. I would suggest checking the condition of the seals and replacing them if necessary.

Hi Emma, I had a friend who experienced the same problem with their BMW Z4 convertible top. It turned out that there was a faulty sensor in the mechanism that detects if the top is fully opened or closed. I would recommend getting the electrical components of the top checked by a professional mechanic.
