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.

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.

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

Great video mate. I have water leak behind the seating area. Do you think a window replacement would be necessary? (Same car)

@rstv84 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

@rstv84 8 ай бұрын

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

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

@rstv84 2 жыл бұрын

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

How is it holding up?

@rstv84 2 жыл бұрын

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.
