carrera 2 converible
I have a 1990 Carrera 2 convertible and am having problems with the front locks on the top. Does anyone have the procedures for adjusting these? I have the workshop manuals, but convertibles are barely mentioned.

They rarely (if ever) require adjustment. What is the exact problem with the roof?

My cab top messed up too.
 The top has a logic contol box which controls the 2 up/down motors, 2 lock motors for the lock up to the windshield 2 or 3 end switchs for the up/down motors, and 2end switches for the top lock up. From other cab owners, a weak link is the control box which has a circuit board cold soldered inside its VDO case. The cold soldered joints can be resoldered, if I recall at the tie in to the input/output wiring terminals. This solved many problems which I read about on this or another forum. My problem was solved simply by going through each end contact and making sure there is continuity, or good contact and not a bad end switch. Perhaps your problem could just be a loose end switch. My up down motors were also loose internally and needed to be tightened up internally. I got a chuckle when I opened the housing and saw the BMW logo on the part. My documentation from Porsche says any problem with the arcanaries of top operation require dealer technician time. I just swap till I drop with a little help from my friends on line. |
