Product Information

Over time, this Genuine BMW convertible top cable wears down, rusts, or worse, snaps in half, preventing you from being able to utilize the functionality of your vehicle's convertible top. If you are diagnosing convertible top issues, this is more often than not, the main culprit.

Convertible Top Cable

A convertible top cable is a tensioning component within a vehicle’s convertible roof system that helps guide and secure the soft top during opening and closing. It ensures proper alignment of the fabric or vinyl roof, keeping it tight against the frame to prevent flapping, leaks, or misalignment. A properly functioning cable is essential for smooth roof operation, weather protection, and maintaining the top’s overall fit and finish.

Convertible Top Cable Failure Symptoms
  • Convertible top not closing or opening smoothly, often binding or misaligning.
  • Loose or sagging roof material, caused by loss of cable tension.
  • Water leaks or increased wind noise, due to poor sealing against the frame.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.

E93
on Sat, May 09 at 09:29PM
It works but FYI
This part does fit e93's going from the rear flappy bit of the headliner down into the trunk. (Base of the roof arm) With that being said it is very clearly not the factory part. It's considerably thinner than the OEM part and potentially a little shorter. I was convinced I had to ordered the incorrect part until I put the roof in a ridiculously precarious position to finally have enough slack to get it on. I stood back like 15 feet the first time I cycled the roof convinced it was going to snap. It appears to be holding but the old broken one was looked like para chord and this new one looks like a dental floss. But yeah it works for an E93

Exact fit
These short cables (referred to as ropes by BMW) are an item that has a tendency to eventually break. They are installed to maintain the headliner tension in the convertible hard top, so it stays taught during raise and lowering of the hardtop. They weave through small rings, pulleys and slots and getting them replaced was like threading a sewing machine wearing gloves. It is at these rings and pulleys where they start to wear and finally break. While the roof will operate if they break, it looks like crap and they must be replaced. These were genuine BMW parts, and as I said, they were a minor challenge to replace, but they’re done at a relatively short cost, and I won’t have to worry about them for years. To try to lengthen their life, I threaded short, small diameter sections of heat shrink tubing where they go through abrasive points. I’m hoping that helps keep them intact for years to come.

Each
Description says price “each”, however it comes with a “set” of two. Your return policy is the worse because even if is FCP Euro mistake, customer pays for shipping.

BMW Convertible Top Cable
Had the cables on my E93 come apart after using the mechanism so many times my interior flap came loose on one side, ordered the part and it was no longer than an hour to reinstall the cables, it came with another line so I went ahead and replaced both sides and it works perfectly.

Works as intended
But tricky getting it on but nothing overly complicated.

Fast shipping and great packaging! Easy to install. You have to make sure that the routing is exact otherwise the folding pillar cover that these lines control will tear into your upholstery.

Easy to replace, I would do it before yours breaks....
