I just fitted one - pick a nice hot day in a nice hot parking lot. Zips up like a charm once warm and pliable!

I need to sort my rear window and get it replaced. Where did you buy the window from?

Phil - I got mine from z3window.com. It’s worked for me, I like it.
Decent idea that when it's a little looser.
There are a few options.
BMW direct is predictably expensive. Buying a new non oem item for around £120 quid. I had a tinted one on my old m44 if you like that sorta thing.
Or the cheap but oem way is finding a used oem item from a breaker. I'm. Sure @spurs fan in a coupe could find one for you. Much cheaper and still OEM.
This is a good time to address any stitching issues where sections might be missing a thread or 10.
Good luck.

When mine looked like yours I ended up getting a new roof as any gluie and or mastic looked messyHi All saw this tread and thought maybe!does anyone think that i need to glue this back in place if so what with?View attachment 223959
I've tucked mine in so many times but, eventually, it just pops out again. I've given up now. It just stays out all the time.Well I did a tuck in job with out the glue and as yet it appears to be staying put, but, I'll keep an eye on it as the the rest of the hood is like new
I replaced my back window some years ago. I'm thinking that the black plastic strip (where the flap tucks under) is narrower on my replacement window than it was on the original.
I fancy a new window. I replaced mine around 5 years ago but never been totally happy with it.
Any chance you could post a closeup picture of the join between roof and window showing how the roof fabric tucks in?
Very much appreciated. Thanks
This is a photo of one I had to reinstall as the zip stitching had broken away and the previous owner tried glueing it back in. You can see my line of hand stitching. The white stuff is what is left of the old glue the previous owner used.
You could get the window complete with a new roof fitted for that money from Jack trimmers in Swansea.
Agree
