Hi all
On my 2.0 1999 Z3 which I purchased in June.
I noticed that when the soft top is down there seems to something missing see photo’s
I’ve had 3 Z3’s in the past and haven’t noticed the empty spaces behind the door pillars
The car looks like it had a hardtop fitted in the past but removed with it’s fitting kit before I got it.
Can any one tell me what’s missing

Has your Z got rollover bars fitted Norm? Mine has and without looking, I think the space you are concerned about has a covering. If I go out to the car later on I shall photo mine and post it here for you.

From memory, I think that you are missing these plastic covers :-

Thanks Mike
Looks familiar with a couple of plastic blanks. What holds them in place?
I will have to find some.

Those are the covers for the hardtop mounting, if it is not fitted there should be some soft trim pieces in their place.

Hi Norm I had tagged Andy ( @spurs fan in a coupe ) into the thread as he is one of our resident breakers he had replied a couple of posts further on to say he could sort you out.
If you get in touch with Andy he will be able to help you.

Stephen.
