I have a 2007 [328i](/topics-328i/) convertible and windows won't roll up Mechanic's Assistant: Is this your first time dealing with this issue? Yes Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your 328i yourself? What have you tried so far? My hardtop convertible was stuck and wouldn't go up so I manually put the top back on with some help Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? My top won't go up or down still and I believe it's connected to the windows and possibly my driver seat because that doesn't move either

The windows will not go up due to the top malfunction. The car needs to know where the top is to allow window movement. There is some failure in the convertible too (sensor, actuator, module, etc) that is triggering all of this. Given the complexity of the roof system, A proper fault scan and diagnostic on a bmw scan tool will be the only way to determine the exact underlying cause
