cab roof

[tommy22]

will a manual roof fit a car with electric roof is it hard to do

[orangecurry]

yes...ish - the hoods are slightly different, and so are the frames I believe

but you don't mean that, do you - do you mean

can I convert an electric roof to manual?

yes, but you need about Ԛ£100 of kit from BMW if you don't have a donor car

use the 'search' at the top for a detailed post where someone has actually done it

not selling electric one i have been offered a second hand manual roof i didnt know if i could take the cover off the manual and put it on a electric

[orangecurry]

I believe there is an extra bit of material on the electric one; stitched on the inside - something to do with the mechanism/rods?

have a look at your existing electric hood and see - can you easily compare the manual one before you buy?

ok thanks

there is a little narrow piece of material over the drivers head that a long narrow rod goes through ...this keeps the tensioners and the roof material together when closing the electric hood.otherwise it tends to drop and not go under the flap properly
