e30 power top operating instructions

[dougsic]

When I bought my '93 e30, there was a card on the drivers sun visor that showed how to operate the power top. I often thought, ""I should make a copy of that card" but foolishly I didn't.

As time passed, the card faded and one day I threw it away thinking I would order a new one from the dealer. But again I didn't.

My visor still has the pouch that the card was in and I'd like to put another one in there. Might anyone have a copy of that card or know where I could get one?

Thanks,

There's a guy on here that does repro cards.
Have seen the manual ones - no sure on the automatic ones.

Maybe search the for sale section?

Thanks for your replies.
I have seen cards for a manual operating top and even one for the power top written in German I believe but none in English.
The part number "may" be

51142232054

but I'm not certain about that part number. Shame I threw the original card away. It was faded but could have been saved. And it had the part number on it too.

The search continues!

That looks about right! I have contacted Pukardesigns as you wisely suggested. Thank you!

Check-in with Pukar - as the quality is top notch - but he has some personal matters which may delay orders.

If the the lead-time & UK shipping won't work, here's the other one I saw in the classifieds

I ordered the card from Daniel (dfraid) and it arrived yesterday. The transaction was easy, communication from the seller was good and the card is exactly as I'd hoped.

Thanks to Tzantushka for the suggestion and thanks to Daniel for delivering a great product.

Glad it worked out.

I'll need to replace my (manual top) instruction card in due course.
But will need to find a RHD vistor that's not floppy and also have the clear plastic pocket intact.

Does anyone make the plastic pocket? Mine could be better.

Not sure.
Looks like the plastic pocket is ultrasonically welded onto the vinyl covering the visor.
I'm yet to investigate upgrading the plastic pocket...
