BMW Z3 A-pillar leak fix

[hard top]

If you are getting drips from the tops of the A Pillars on your BMW Z3 then have a look at the attached PDF file.

ok, that's handy to know ;-)
another tip for smoothing the sealant, rather than using a credit card, wet your finger and smooth it off, leaves a much tidier finish ;-)

is it only me who can't get the link to work?

No me as well but I can see it by signing into facebook and going to BMW Z3 Roadster Owner's Club (files).
@hard top is it a link from Facebook BMW Z3 Roadster Owner's Club? It may be that as this is a `closed group' - you cannot view it via external source.

Oh, actually it is a link to the Facebook Group I run that Hard Top has taken it from. I'll speak to @Susan and see if she minds me adding it directly to the thread...

Beat me to it Gaz.

I thought Gaz had fixed that....I will ask him.
Otherwise, look for BMW Z3 A-Pillar leak on Google.

I've converted the file to a PDF now, and attached it to the first post. I'll try and have a word with @Susan this weekend and see if I can add it to the article system

Hi guys did you manage to get it working?

Hi Susan,

Yes, I converted the Word file in to a PDF so it can be uploaded and viewed correctly

I've just opened the attachment. I'll have a go at sealing my roof ASAP. At present I'm using a length of guttering plus an empty ice cream tub to collect any water that gets in.....Looks a bit odd but works well...

Heath Robinson rules I say - let's see a picture Barry

Will do. But need a bit of time to sort out central heating problems in the house.

Hi,
This is the latest innovation in keeping the Z3 dry.....

I feel your pain as I have had buckets in the car for the same problem but only with the hardtop, never with the soft top.

Brilliant Barry great stuff

I've now stuck a small section of a bike innertube over the A pillar end but it hasn't rained since so will check later.
The passenger footwell carpet is also wet. Is there a well known leak here too?

That will also be from the A-Pillar.
