Great video, Probably next week will I be doing the neccessary oiling and applying the gummi pflege wherever neccessary . Very thorough explanation.

[@Makhnovets]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you mate 🇧🇼 Your videos are super helpful, I'm researching to start a Sunroof and Convertible Maintenance business

Couple cool one are coming! Hinge adjusting and rattle noise)

@@Makhnovets hey man if you still have the car can you do all of the drain ports in the car and where water just normally passes through so I know what to look out for and how to properly make sure no water gets in thank you your videos have helped me a lot🎉

[@gagebeckwith2250]

@@Makhnovets I also had a question in regards to replacing the two main big cords that run towards the front the ones you can see looking up sitting down in the car thank you!

[@markt9438]

I use Anti Seize Grease it is Gray and will stay where u put it !!! Magic

[@Makhnovets]

Just keep in mind some of the oil or grease can make higher friction, so roof can struggle to open or close.

[@SamFigueroaLeon]

great video on maintenance on rubber weather-strip .....Can you give me a tip how to glue convertible inner liner, some of them came loose, do you have any idea what kind of glue epoxy i should buy...will wait for response...thanks

[@Makhnovets]

My friend had same problem, the liner separated from the rivet's, we used this one, since it's also made for fiberglass, technicaly what the headliner made of: amzn.to/4bvqxh3 this one is fast curing, 5min, and will be set in 1hr. (just be carful on aligning the part's properly, don't rush it).

[@JAYBOLA1]

Appreciate the video but get to the point a bit quicker...4 minutes of waffling on.

[@Makhnovets]

Thank you for the feedback! I’m working on the better structure and story telling, so in future should be definitely more straightforward.

[@christinemckenzie4294]

Thanks so much for this, it was so hopeful. Can I use WD40 to do this job? Also when my roof is half open, for me to work on it, it slowly starts to close automatically, is there a way of stopping this?

[@Makhnovets]

the one I add in the description should be fine, it's moving part's so most of the lubs or oils will work.

[@Vgk36]

noooooop ON WD40!!

[@TrevorsExotics]

Does anyone have a slight knocking noise coming from the driver side of your E93 M3? It’s from the top not sure how to fix this I just lubed all the seals. The knocking sound only happens when I go over certain bumps while driving

[@Makhnovets]

So this one for Permanent repair. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGSQcp6hibWZqbM And this one is temporary - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqWXp4arhceWp5Y, as well as it has the knocking or rattle sound. With adding the grease you can see if this is your problem, but i'm 90% sure that it is. The fix with grease is messy and it less for a month or so.

[@gagebeckwith2250]

My cords are pretty rough and look like they might snap the one you can see sitting from the inside just looking up we’ll how would I go about replacing them?

[@Makhnovets]

There quite a few videos on the KZbin, they relatively easy to replace, but you’ll better to replace them before they snap, use the bee wax on the new one just apply some on the spots that have increased friction.

[@gagebeckwith2250]

@@Makhnovets is there a way I can send you a picture? Also what are they called exactly? So I can order them thanks man

[@JACKOOSH]

nice! 💪💪💪

Thanks 🔥

[@leadgenerationmauritius4709]

Hi mate I saw that the plastics close to your headrest/seatbelt are getting ugly, mine too. Do you know products to get it clean and nice black again? Thanks man

[@Makhnovets]

Hey! Thank you for the comment, I did not try, but I was using the polish on the other plastic trim.(work only with drill or polisher)"You still can try it, like I said I didn't try that method" you can do it with the hands but it will take a long time, the problem is in the plastic; it's been exposed to the sun for too long, and that discoloration simply from heat, I'm saying that the plastic disintegrated not the finishing, the only thing it's using the spray paint, but we have seatbelt there, so the only solution is to get the new piece. That's not the claim, it's more like my guess.

[@cc.cingoz]

Hey bro,good job fist of all. I need help about the roof of my e93. It's closing and opening very strong and fast with big noise and shaking the car.

[@Makhnovets]

My guess will be Hydraulic cylinders, they tempt to wear off, it's not common, but when it happens the mechanism cant hold the oil properly and the top becomes unstable. Try to stop the roof with an angle, or right before it goes into the trunk, there got to be pressure on hydraulic to test it, then leave it and see if it struggling to hold the top on the same spot, it got to be solid, no movement no struggle at all.

[@moarbi1]

Do you know if there is an emergency put down roof procedure? My rear window regulator in a 4 series gone but the roof is stuck so can't access the panel? I figured that the 3 or 4 series roof have similar mechanism

[@Makhnovets]

There emergency lock realize and there way to put it down, but it's not easy, you will need to follow manual for that. not 100% positive and newer done it myself, but heard that it possible. good luck.

[@aaaaadil3003]

I’m sorry so no one’s going to ask how the hell your closing the roof without being in the car? My key can open my roof but it won’t close my roof even after trying to code it

[@darkbassi5911]

You need the comfort entry option. Factory order option only. Even with coding you can't add it aftermarket. 😊

[@aaaaadil3003]

@@darkbassi5911 ohhhh it all makes so much more sense now

[@Makhnovets]

Yes, you are correct) the whole piece need to be replaced, which I wouldn't do, too risky to damage something else... just make something that will hold the piece of plastic on the place... I have the repair video in the e93 playlist. www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=WL73-USA---E93-BMW-335i&diagId=54_0364

How do you keep the roof stay up and what’s a good position to make sure there’s isn’t any stress on the pump mechanical parts?

[@NightmarishPT]

@@dwowie7 i read somewhere that it is important to not leave it on 90 degrees

[@ZaedEjaz]

Great video man, I’m planning to do the same for my F83. Do you know the BMW recommended grease for the hinges? I didn’t see it in the video description.

[@Makhnovets]

The official recommendations for door hinges and pivots are 3M 8876 or Loctite 24378. The roof is The official recommendations for door hinges and pivots are 3M 8876 or Loctite 24378.

Привет!!Какой стиль дисков на этой машине??они выглядят круто;)!!!

[@Makhnovets]

M3 Wheel Rim Style 219 Silver 18x8.5" это стандартные диски m3, которые идут в комплекте с машиной, у них тоже другой стиль есть, они тоже круто смотрятся.

[@mrdude4433]

can we use wd40 for this?

[@Makhnovets]

Short answer is yes it not going to less long, there special wd-40 for moving parts, can’t remember the name, I think i have it in the description…

[@markt9438]

no way it is water based and does not help to repel rust ! Anti seize grease is is Gray and will stay where u put it ! IMHO the best

[@bmva8263]

How about dw40 ?

[@Makhnovets]

Not the regular one)) But yes dw40 sounds better than wd40)) Link in description.

Hey bro, i found the roof rattle, but i don‘t know how i can fix it. Can you give me your E-Mail, i will send you a short Video.
