Ok my electric roof stopped working I got no power to it at all the motors are fine as they were working fine and no obvious damage is visible. I needed the roof down so I manually opened it via the e30 zone wiki which was not a problem. I now need a person who has extensive knowledge about re synchronising the roof for it to work again and also am willing to travel.

Hi mate. How and when did it stop working? Did it fail during the opening process and so you decided to lower it manually, or some other reason

There is a motor re-synch instruction also available in the wiki, have you referred to that?

Common problem, with electric roofs, lots of posts...

Might be worth having a look at the main motor, as the top shears off.
