Intro

[CChetA]

I recently purchased a 1996 Z3 with 97000 miles. I'm finally, several months, getting around to fix the rocking seats. I did purchase the Dougs fix. I thought already joined but lets try it again. Looking forward to picking the brains of the members

Hi @CChetA and welcome from near Lincoln UK. What size motor is in your car? Where are you located over in the US please?

We are in Orlando where the Chamber of Commerce is worried you Brits will stop coming since the Exit. It's the 1.9L, so it's all show no go.

I resemble that remark

I've downloaded the Power Point on the seat fix, but wondering if it is really a DIY project.

Hi @CChetA, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire, UK. Ask as many questions as you like, somebody may well have had the same problem as you

Welcome!

@CChetA I can confirm that the process is very easy. I'm the world worst DIY mechanic and did it. Did the second seat in about 45 minutes after taking my time doing the first.

The members on here who own the 1.9's will probably disagree with that, merely stating that you do have to drive them. My car is Z4 3.0 but only bought it last August, up till then I had a Z3 2.0

Here's where I live,

Only these days it looks more like this.

We're in Kissimmee. Looking forwards to coming back in September. We've been coming to Kissimmee since 1994, no signs of us not doing either. I'm jealous of your weather too, we sometimes "put up with" a Mustang while we're over there.

So,Andy has answered your question and there is likely a thread or link on here somewhere that someone will put up in a post. You also qualify for membership in the M44 Massive a very elite group of people with the 1.9 L engine. So welcome from me!! @ GazHyde please perform the honour! JIM

Come on down now. It's little rain and 96 for days. Definitely not daytime top down weather. I've always liked the Z3. Reminds me of my 63 Austin Healey 3000. 3rd childhood!

Welcome to the MassiveM44, from another 1.9 silver owner! Red leather works fine with the silver color!
Enjoy the car and the forum!

PS the Healey looks great! I drove one ten years ago. The Zed will do a great replacement!
