I'm assuming you've already checked the manual?

My Z4 has a manual winder for these situations.

Soft Top Error

If the car refuses to start and the speedo display shows a “C” it indicates that the soft top is not properly engaged. You will usually find that it is not clipped in at the back.



If for some reason the electrics for the roof become faulty, it is still possible to close the roof fully in order to secure the vehicle. In your owners pack you should have a set of cranked keys. These keys are pushed into two small holes either side of the rear interior light, ensure they are both in properly and have engaged with the motor.

Slowly turn both keys anticlockwise until you hear a clicking noise, the catches will now have been released. Pull out the emergency keys and lift the rear soft top into place.

Insert the keys back into the holes and turn them anticlockwise, the sunroof will begin to close. Continue to rotate the keys, keeping the roof level until it is closed fully.

You probably didn't lock both sides properly before trying the remote... glad it is fine now.
