I’ve just replaced my vario top box because the one originally i had had inexplicably seized in the winter time!
I braved a YouTube video to take it apart the cogs are fine and it all went back together well ,sadly it’s still stuck!
It’s in the lower position the lid opens and closes well it just won’t raise I suspect there is grit or something between the sliders but being ham-fisted I decided to just buy a new one so it’s for sale if anybody wants to make me an offer perfectly serviceable if you don’t mind it in the down position and I’m sure there is a genius out there who can free easily
Make me an offer but fellow Beemers I rather you had first choice
