Great video well done
Thanks for the video. You've answered so many questions. My window shattered last week on a chill morning. Was pleased to find out it was replaced with a zipper but heard they were difficult. Looked simple enough watching you do it. I was very pleased at the end to see you tuck the fabric under the new rubber edging. My fabric never tucked and always bothered me. Two-sided tape makes sense. Hopefully yours remains secure to this day. Happy motoring.
Awesome job buddy, you make it look so easy as some other links state its a nightmare to do, my stitching has also come out where your has too so pretty similar fix to what I need to do, thanks again
Glad to help
Good job my man, but I call bullshit for my experience.. it didn’t fit properly and kept breaking at the zip whenever I had the hood fully closed.. I’m super jealous how easy you made it look! I ended up repairing my old cracked window and refitting it back. For me total waste of time
Thanks for the great video! I am wondering if it would be better to use silicone glue between the fabric and the window to repel water. Do you have any problems with double sticky tape in terms of water? Please let us know. Thanks again.
What's the tape for mate? Thanks for the vid
My new window didnt come with this plastic rubber suround was wondering if possible to glue it from my old window
Great video mate. I have water leak behind the seating area. Do you think a window replacement would be necessary? (Same car)
I would get a watering can and poor it over the roof when it is up then have a look inside and see if you can see where it is coming in. If you better yet get someone else to do it while you sit inside.
Cracking job mate!👍. Will be doing the same next month. Can I ask where you got replacement window, was it in UK? 🤔
Link in the description. But eBay via germany
I don’t have a z3 or a bad window but I want a z3 so bad!
Mines for sale lol 😆
Any hints or tips on where to order the replacent window
Sorry I've just seen the link in the description is no longer available..
Great video!! I have a question though--I bought a used z3 and it looks like the rear window is heat sealed on. No sign of a zipper...which makes me believe there is an aftermarket top on it. My window just cracked on a beginning of winter chilly morning. Am I shit out of luck and have to replace the whole top? If so, what have people been successful with brand wise? Thanks in advance!
Yes if there's no zip it will be aftermarket. Not saying you might not be able to get an aftermarket replacement. You will need to be a brave man to attempt a roof replacement. Doable but watch out for saggy spots.... A mohair one is best
Great video!
I have a question, do you know if there is a zipper on all years/models of the z3?
Tried to replace my window today on my 97' z3 but could not find the zipper. Just looked like it was sewed in. // greetings from Sweden
They do not come with a zipper you need to purchase it separately or it may come with the new window there will be a zip on the window tho is the same on all models
@@rstv84 there is a zipper on the new window. But not on the car, should there not be a zipper on the car?
@@oskarsandberg7788 there should be a zipper on the car also yes. One half one each piece. Maybe it's a replacement roof that's not genuine bmw.. Could be possible
Hi . Great video. I’ve followed your link to eBay. When I put in my car details , it comes up as the window for sale doesn’t fit your vehicle, but if I change the engine details it says the window does fit. Does a different engine details/size really make a difference to the rear window. Thanks
I cant see why it would make any difference if I'm honest, but i cant confirm this I'm afraid maybe sent the seller a question
@@rstv84 ok thanks. I have sent the seller a message , hopefully they’ll get back to me from Germany. Thanks
Could I ask what age your z3 is and what window you ordered? I haven’t heard anything back from the seller?
Thanks
How is it holding up?
Pretty decent actually.. You have to make sure it folds down correctly but I think that's the same with any roof. I think not folding correctly lead to the rip in the old roof
Can you please tell the supplier for your z3 rear window. I purchased one from Cabrio Supplies but it was slightly smaller so had trouble zipping it in, Many thanks.
It was just an Ebay job, i think the link is in the description if it is still valid as it was over a year ago.
37 no way 😂😂😂
True fact
2 things. I hope that was wax covered thread and don't swear on video. Very unprofesssional. lol
It was
Does it require UV resistant thread as well? I'm looking to do the same so hoping to get some pointers. Thanks
it's youtube, stfu about swearing
