    Why do the automatic convertible tops always break even when the car was new?

    I have my dads original 87 convertible (manual top, of course). My mom has told me in the past about one of our neighbors bought the BMW automatic convertible when they first offered the automatic tops. She told me they constantly had to go to BMW because the automatic mechanisim kept breaking.

    What kind of factory issues kept causing the automatic tops to keep breaking, even when the car was new?

    Just curious.
