This is by far a better video for how to do this, simple and to the point. Thank you for making this one! I'm about to tackle this project myself here soon.

Cool, good job. Sometimes, we gotta F the first one up. I have done tops in the past. But BMW's are different from american cars. Just today, i was trying to figure out why the top on my '94' 318 won't set right when I put it down. Your video showed me a lot of useful information, so now i think i can figure it out. Thanks.

aye bro good shit. One question did you replace the elastics little straps on the back for the window? I'm about to do that and was wondering if anyone had tips?

[@e36archives]

Honestly i left the straps alone cause my top and liner was beyond destroyed, they are tucked in and wrapped around the metal frame

[@itzstorm347]
