I recently purchased a 2001 330 ci from a friend. He told me the top stopped working. when I tried to use the top, it worked fine about five times or so. Then it would not go all the way up. I used the manual proceedure for getting it back up and latched. Here is the issue:
When using the allen wrench to latch the top to the windshield, I turned the "screw" counter clockwise until it actually came out of the hole it was in. I was able to thread it back in and get the top closed, and latched.
I have read every sticky post on this site as they relate to top issues....good stuff. I can not find my problem in it though. I read on a forum somewhere, that although the manual only gives indication that the override allen wrench method is for closing in an emergency and not opening, that this is untrue, and in fact, the top can be manually unlatched in the same way. When I try to turn the screw counter clockwise, it comes back out again. I can rethread it in, and it will screw in tight, as if the latches are still operating with it. I can not turn it to unlatch without coming out.
Any ideas? When I push the button to open it, I just hear buzzing, as if the gear isnt meshing or biting. thanks for your help in advance.
