Problem for BMW 1999 328 Series

The top will not close all the way nor will it go

the top will not close all the way nor will it go down. while pushing the button you hear a loud clicking noise from the back seat area. also, when the top stopped functioning the button on the key that unlocks the trunk isn't working.

your sunroof motor is tired, and the sunroof rails need to be checked. The key is the old style so get a new key from the dealer to get the diamond shaped one. those are unbreakable. Let me know if the sunroof cover (the carpet patch that keeps the light out) is sliding ok or if it is displaced

to program a new key:
open the car while locked with the new key via the door key-hole
sit inside and close all doors.

put the key in the ignition and turn to the second position (do not start, just to the ON position) and then back off (without removing the key) 3 times.

take the key out and press and hold the lock button (BMW EMBLEM) and with your other hand press the unlock button three times and let go of the keys.

you will hear the dorrs lock and then unlock.

the key is then programmed.
