How to Manually Close the Convertible Roof of a BMW

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Body

Video tutorial

This video demonstrates a function of a BMW convertible that not everyone is aware of: the ability to manually close the convertible roof using the physical key found inside the remote. As we know, the physical key is used to unlock the car door if the remote battery is dead, via the lock (hidden under the plastic cover) located in the driver's door.

However, this is not its only use on convertible vehicles. It is also used to close the roof by keeping the key turned to the left until the closing procedure is completed, as shown in the video.
