Hi from the Midlands

[Qplate]

Hi, the names Graham and amongst our small family of cars we have a 2.8 Z3 roadster in Boston green with the beige leather interior. I've been looking for a picture but can't find any at the moment.

We,ve had it for a couple of years now and it's generally been very good with only a couple of niggles. Both seats moved on there own so that was sorted with new seat runner inserts.

We had to have a new hood when we first got it as the old one was well past its sell by date. The car came with a hard top too but the rain gets in more with it on that when the soft tops on.

Anyway, just thought I would say hi.

Welcome to the forum Graham from the other side of the pond. Got a '96 1.9l with Boston Green and a beige interior also. Just put a new top on myself. The top was originally black and I installed a tan one. Can't wait to see some pics. Frankie

Welcome from me too.

The car came with a hard top too but the rain gets in more with it on that when the soft tops on.

You probably have the A-Pillar leak if you also have problems with the soft top.
Also check if your hardtop is fastened properly, after a while driving with it on, you will need to re-tighten the front slightly.

Graham. Another gentleman of impeccable taste, judgement and obvious breeding has chosen to grace us with his company. A 2.8 with beige interior, surely the pinnacle of Z3 excellence. A toast to you and your car sir.



Bonzo and Zelda.

Hi everyone and thanks for the welcome. It looks to be a really friendly place to be.

For those asking, I'm in Coventry.

For oldcarman, the hardtop may be an expensive item to get to Canada

For hardtop, you are very perceptive sir, it does seem to be a leak on the A pillar. It seems to be on both sides but worse on the passenger side. As its a known issue, is there an easy fix?

There is a PDF file attached to this thread which contains the process.

Why? What on earth have you said or done? Perhaps I can help. I'm an expert in these matters. Bonzo.
