Z4 s Drive roof issue problem
anyone else having a problem with clicking/cracking noise when operating the roof
I bought my z4 sDrive 2.3i new in October 2009 It made a click noise (cracking), not very loud which I took to have investigated. After several weeks the dealership could find not reason for the click then later said it was a problem with the mechanism. I have always operated the roof correctly and have never stowed items incorrectly. Anyone else had this problem? Last edited by auckland; 04-23-2011 at 07:38 AM.. Reason: roof clicking/cracking noise |

If it doesnt give you an error on the display then the mechanism probably needs lubrication, not a big deal.

I heard a loud 'crack' and later discovered that a 'plastic washer' broke off. You can see it here circled (viewed from front to back from the left side of the car, I think it's the rear window section, you'll have to stop the roof mechanism midway to check out the insides. Be careful, parts could still move even though you stopped it); I had the broken part replaced and no more prbs, so it was just a faulty/weak part for me. Before I fixed it, I could still use the roof w/o prbs and I didn't hear any clicking noises.

I still think I had a cricket over wintering in my former Z4 or she left some young ones behind
