What do you mean by 'broken'?
Does not open or does it leak??

My top refused to close at one point - I took it to the dealer (years & years ago before I decided to most of the repairs myself) & they told me it was gonna be 2K to fix.

Turned out only the motor was broken... didnt even buy a new one ($200), but simply rigged the old one. Still working fine after 6 years.

F the dealership!

The BMW dealer told me a few years ago could be $2,000 to fix it LOL (I'd like to spend $200-600 area.) Any good ideas to replace the roof nicely and cost effectively?
