41 00... Procedure For Folding Roof After An Accident (Convertible): Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW 328xi, 2013 BMW 328i, 2012 BMW 328xi, 2012 BMW 328i, and 2011 BMW 328xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The folding roof may be under tension after the vehicle has incurred damage following an accident. Moving the folding roof by hydraulic means may result in irreparable damage. For this reason, the folding roof may only be moved manually until the damaged has been repaired.
IMPORTANT:
It is not possible to check the correct operation of the folding roof on the damaged vehicle.
Different procedures are required, depending on the degree of damage which the vehicle has incurred. The repair instructions for emergency actuation describe only the complete sequences for manually opening and closing the folding roof.
When removing the roof module and/or the rear end module, it is possible to move the folding roof manually into the necessary intermediate positions in each case.
WARNING:
Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the folding roof!
Since the hydraulic system may have to be depressurized during manual movement of the folding roof, there is an increased risk of injury by trapping. Always secure the folding roof adequately against unintentional movement.
