Cab roof motors.

Mon Mar 23, 2009 7:29 am

Hi All, New to the zone and loving it, just got myself a project, a brilliant redish

325 cab. Needs a lot of TLC.
The main roof motor is broken at the pivot point is there a repair/replacement part for this? if so where can i get a hold of it? also i have removed the main motor and now the horseshow motor does not work, do they both need to be attached as i cant lock the horseshoe down.

Many thanks

Spike.

The e30 centre at Darlaston in the west midlands produce a new top half motor shell in cast steel rather than monkey metal , for about £100 and will fit it for you if you ask nicely..

The horseshoe motor should work if the roof motor is disengaged ...mine did,, but I do not know where the fuse is ....but have you taken it out? you might have disturbed something?

best of luck

you might be a long way away but it would save you a lot of probs going to visit them as getting the sequencing right can be a prob....

Sorry for slight hi-jack of this thread, but what oil/grease would you recommend for servicing the cab roof?

If you are having a new roof fitted get the motor part as the fitters will know how to sync it

I use that spray grease or a solid grease (forgotten which 'cos its in a tub in my garage)....
