:yikes:fully elec roof went down no problem but when i tried to put it back up the windows would attempt to go down every second, the windows gradually went down but the roof would not come back up. i manually closed the roof. the windows went up ok however the next day after someone got in the passenger door, the window went down the small amount to open the door, when the door was closed it went back up but the motor would not stop and it tried to put the window up and did not no when to stop. it does this every time now and also when the window goes up. Last week i noticed it would not always close properly and would go back down as if somethingf was trapped in it(safetyprocedure) It now wont go up on one touch, you have to the switch down. Not sure if the roof and window problems are related?

As I have found out myself, E36 window motors and regulators (not sure about roof motors) are notoriously full of faults. I had to buy a new regulator yesterday because a pin has broke in mine and the window does not go back up, it just falls off the rails.
