Wanted Hardtop measuring guages

[inkey$]

Looking for a pair of hardtop measuring guages.

Difficult to get these - I used two pieces of thick rubber as a starting point then set the height slightly high > adjusting to the recommended gap measurement.

Some good info on the site: search for BMW Z3 Hard Top Fitting (1996 to 2002).

Thanks. Yeah, I read that page but couldn't find any measurements for what that recommended gap needs to be.

Go on .net site (shhh in case Gaz hears) and one of the admin team- Robert T - loans the gauges, I used them on @Uncle_Clangers zed who worryingly seems to have disappeared. Anyone know of his current state?

Can't find the thread Uncle-Clanger did in 2017 on using the gauges when we set his hard top up.

Thanks. I’ll investigate.
