[@mainaren8423]

This have been a problem for me for a long time, and every video i have seen has only reset the motors. This is the best and most helpful video I have seen in years. Thanks man!

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

[@taavi842]

Very good video. Nice job👊

[@nickynick9394]

Amazing and in depth video, happy I found your videos as I just bought a e36 vert also. Cant wait to do this and get my roof working!

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

That’s awesome, thanks for watching and I got lots of videos about everything on this car including a manual swap. Check out my playlists

[@risaid007]

Again, awesome video. I realized my problem. The cables were too small. My roof works perfectly. Thank you.

[@devo5083]

this is awesome man! I really need this! yeah you may be a little over explaining but this way everyone can do it even if you don't understand electrically

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Awesome thanks for the feedback

[@kylelecordier4992]

I followed everything you've done step by step, and my roof works😃 think I need to replace the motor for that rear cover though.... won't open without a little assistance, however thank you so much for the awesome content 🍻

[@wahab-jk450]

Where did you buy the motors and the stuff to repair it

[@notapplicable8136]

Bro, you are the absolute best damned teacher in the entire world. Even when you go over shit I know, well I thought I knew and definitely should know I end up learning or at least understanding way more than before. Keep on being awesome homie

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Thank you

[@bradleywilliams1525]

Hi dude I'm about to attempt the roof fix thanks to your video!!! Only issue is that my front windows won't work at all a direct 12v feed to the motor and it works but I wanted to know if you had a video on fixing them as I can't find one at all! Thanks Brad

[@patagonicussur1312]

Muy util, gracias

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

👍

[@risaid007]

Awesome video. It has helped like you can't believe. However, I'm still experiencing a problem. A very different 1 now. Previously when I tried to reset my roof, it would close once and that's it. But now, I need to help all the parts move to their positions. The motors are not doing it by themselves. Please help... Thank you

[@howze2ID]

Ok I just subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Excellent teacher

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Thx

[@howze2ID]

​@@ProblemSolverGarageI have an 08 Sebring hard top and I did some investigation on bypassing the manufacturers computer and I believe your way will work .

[@JB91710]

As I mentioned at your first video, if the motors work, why doesn't the roof work when you push the button to open or close the roof? Is it the computer failing? I love how you came up with the wire! I also love the way you clearly teach.

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

In my case it was the computer

[@nj3022]

Thank you so much for making this video !! Watching and subscribed from Denmark, i just bought mine it has the "semi-auto" roof with the handle, and the roof is completely dead, i have tried messing with the fuses and micro-switches etc etc, the reseting procudure and still not working. I will definitely try this

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Yeah I also tried everything, and this totally worked the roof works awesome now

[@santiagosilva7220]

@nj3022 how was this on your car?? same problem for me

[@nj3022]

@@santiagosilva7220 worked perfect 👍 i have sold the car now but worked without problems for 6 months

[@maashrurgazi7515]

Jus bouta try this on my 99 328 u think I can make tonneau lid switch and manually operate the lifting and finish off with the built in motor switch.? I think my rods bent so it doesn’t fully fit back in the tonneau cover think it’ll work?

[@maashrurgazi7515]

Took the rods off and now can open close tonneau cover w the switch, didnt work at first but i forgot to sand my grounds, make more e36 videos bro

[@toufictobaily8182]

Hi thank you for such a detailed video but I still face a problem with the first motor it’s going back In to close

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Get someone to move the lid up and down as you push it in

[@toufictobaily8182]

@@ProblemSolverGarage I also have a small problem with power it’s not going as it should even though my car is running 105000 km only just got it it was reserved for the past 5 years

[@carlrice6989]

LOL,,, The Wire connected to the POS Term on the Batt,,, is fuse # 49 power supply for "The TOP,,, ( I had my E36 Vert for a Year before I "Found" That,,, ), I have done my Seats with "LSeats",,, and Nickolay in Latvia sold me some new skins for my Door Panels,,, My Panels have Air Bags which has the Black Plastic Rivets...

[@DevinGoodwinlv]

YOU FUCKING GOD!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED

[@devo5083]

I got a question. Im going to use this method. But is it possible to use 2 of the original buttons from the roof? They have 5 wires

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

No

[@jilmarsnoek4150]

Tnx for the video, i have a question. You are using a 30amp fuse and a 20amp switch. How many amps is 1 motor of the roof? Can i use a 20amp switch safe?

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Yes I think 20 amp should handle it. I don't know the amps of the motors

[@timjohansson628]

Like your content. very well explained on all details. Will do the same thing on my cab. What I wonder is. The switches you use. Do they fit well in the console or did you have to modify it a bit?

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

They fit good I use JB Weld to glue them in from underneath

[@timjohansson628]

@@ProblemSolverGarage ok i see. When are you gonna change the soft top? Im gonna do that soon so I want a wideo from you befour i do that😂

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Won’t be doing it till summer

[@ranwelcome]

Can I use the original roof switch as one of the 2 switches? And just add nowhere switch?

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

No

[@ranwelcome]

@@ProblemSolverGarage thank you very much

[@boandersson7492]

👍👍👍👍

[@howze2ID]

Question, you said the relay will turn on when the ignition is turned on. By activating the relay , is the relay going to have constant power as long as the ignition is on. And if the relay is on as long as the ignition is on ,will the relay coil burn out? Please help anyone

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

No relays are designed to be on or off

[@KNZTECH]

İ dont need the third switch can i do your Method?? Just 2

[@jilmarsnoek4150]

Yes, i also have a semi-automatic

[@wahab-jk450]

How can I contact with you I need some information + were can I buy things for my car it was my father car and I’m living in Middle East

[@idonjohnson6999]

Why bypass the computer?

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Because the computer was broken and it's expensive to replace, it also controls the windows which one of those didn't work either, I took the nonconvertible computer from my parts car and switched computers

[@macmroz]

SImple as for the kindergarden child.

[@ProblemSolverGarage]

Yeah I tried to explain it in a way so somebody that knows nothing about anything could do this

[@papoesteban1971]

yeup my English is no too good ,I'm from PR,but I'm able to following all instructions coz he clearly explained really good,I love it 😊🤷🏽🙏🙏🙏

Thanks guys
