Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of the micro-switches for controling the up/down and locking of the roof, please?
I have had one replaced by the dealers, but instead of being sensible and doing what most sensible mechanics would do and replace both of the switches on the part of the system that was affected, they just replaced the one. So, now a few months later, the other has been diagnosed as faulty/corroded and needs to be changed. It was over £200 last time, very good if you have shares in BMW but not so good for my pocket!
I have been given a link to a video on Youtube showing where all the switches are, very helpful, but I cannot quite see what type of switches they are. Changing them will not be a problem.
Cheers, Colin.

=)) Thanks Althulas, my fault, I should have said what the model was!
I'll take a look at the thread in a bit and send Andy a PM. I did see some switches with extra long contact strips on Amazon. should be able to bend them to whatever shape I need.
5 for £6, nothing to lose in getting them anyway.
Cheers, all.
