Hello all!

I have a friend who has an E30 318i Convertible (K reg) that has a damaged roof motor at the rear. I am looking to make this into a manual top instead. Can anyone please advise how this is possible? I am presuming there is perhaps a safety feature that must be taken off to allow the roof to operate via hand and a way in which the back parcel shelf is able to lift up and down securely in the same manner?

If someone could let me know I would be very thankful!

If you could email replies to mailto:rob.venables@mbna.com - Rob I would be greatful.

Thanks
