Great transformation looks a treat
looks real great job there.... dont really know how it compares to a new jack r smith roof... mine is about 3 years old now but still looks good.. i bought the car with the roof already done... yours looks real tight.... but probably it will stretch given time... i have a few pressure marks on mine where the convertible frame hoops touch the rear window when the roof is down... sort of like pressure marks, dont know whether this is the same with all roofs...

My hoops are no where near the rear window that's a bit odd ?
Looking great. I bet you look at it now and think that was well worth while.
Also, how did we not know about that Z4? Somebody must have seen it before surely
Sewn and bonded Paul.
i didnt mean roll hoops hehe i meant the hoops on the roof frame. i dont have roll hoops anyway on mine.... :-(

I did mention the Zcars racing series and of course zroadster.orgLoving the look of your roof.
Don't let @BMBabe spot that Z4 she will have it line up for a photo or a race With the Zcars. Great advert for the business makes me want to go and get a new roof and I don't even need one...
Must say my day out for the fitting was a most excellent experience, over the moon with the quality and fitting.
An added bonus, i can see out the rear window
New ZCAR
btw the hood looks AWESOME

£ 685 inc Vat and fitted.
Bought the car (£1500) with saved £5 notes, and saved £5's have paid for the roof.
So it all feel's like it's for free.
Plenty in the Z3 / £5 / slush fund, what next ? Bling yellow calipers ?
You can get roof blankets which attach to the roof before you fold it. Me, I just drape a towel over the roof. Don't forget the roll of foam pipe lagging to pre form the rear screen as it folds!
Bonzo.

That was close. Phew
i washed my car the other day and went out for a run not really noticing, but the amount of bird cack i had over it i couldnt believe it... i think the bird must have had a chicken tikka masalla.. all over the front headlight, bonnet, and even got inside the bonnet... i was so disgraced i had to clean it off there and then in the car park I was parked.. good job i had wet wipes in the car... i had the roof down all day too so good job he didnt drop off his timber over me, god knows the mess it would have made

B***** how to avoid ? Partial open and
Tuck ? Advice please.
Tuck ? Advice please.
Thats what i normally do and i use a length of pipe lagging in the crease to retain a radius in the window , rather than a fold.

It should come out in the sun it will tighten back up
Depends on the severity of the crease. I had a crease in mine - so I used a hair dryer to soften the window area from inside and outside the car. Try not to touch the window while you are doing this. Leave and go back to it. Take care not to overheat the window. I hope this works for you.
