Found Hood for 1997 Z3

[Bringit96]

So after getting rained on again tonight I think it's time I find a replacement hood.

Looking for manual, red hood for 1997 1.9, I'd like to hold out and find a red one but if not I'm happy to get a black one if anyone has one!

Thanks

Are you going to fit this yourself? If not you will potentially pay the same to have a second-hand one fitted as it would cost for an all new quality roof (fitted) from someone like Jack Smith in Swansea at around £300.

About time! Your roof is the worse I've ever seen

A job for Zedshed to help and get the water out, I bet you have a small pond in the floor

Not really. My shirt absorbs most of the water...

Lift the seat up full height find the split between the front and rear carpet section get your hand in and see what it's like .
My wife's zed had a half a dozen leaks when we bought it ( mainly from the badly unstitched rear window) anyway carpets felt dry on top .
When I ripped out the seats and carpets found foam underlay water logged ( took a month to dry out ) left a couple of litres of water in the floorpan after lifted carpets out .

Well I'll have the seats out to do the bushes in the rails so I'll check that then. Thanks for the tip

My old roof despatched this morning I hope it does the job. Geoff

An umbrella would've done a better job than my current one! Thanks again Geoff, much appreciated
