Here's a link about my reupholstery experience: Using ninestitch, turn around time was about two months, but I was able to get a top quality custom kit not available at the other places. Don't have a write up but I'll be going back in to adjust some more stuff so I'll snap pics then.

I saw the link in the cabrio suggestion thread and added to it.
If when folding your top, it collapses into its compartment fine but there's a bit of fabric left that goes over your rear seat, you have bad tension straps. They're riveted in and I don't think you can replace these without taking most of the top off. But if you leave it how it is all you have to do is tuck the strap in on each side. Not really worth the price of a new top.
My top itself is in great shape but the (thankfully) zip in window is cracked and leaking, the straps are shot, and some of my seals are worn. I'm going to try some rubber restore and one of those emiata rear windows and see what happens
it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

From my experience, you would need to do the entire top to do tension straps. The straps have rivets under the front most part of the top. As for the raceland, I have one and I am going to buy another. For the price it cant be beat. It does not hug the rear seats like the BMW one does, but its also not a few $100 dollars.

I have a Raceland and I love it. As much as I love going topless I'm not crazy about the wind beating the back of my head at high speed or for any length of time. Between the wind blocker and adjusting the windows, it's perfect and you can't beat the price.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.

Yep, I love my raceland. It really makes a difference when cursing over 452014 Alpine White 335i MSport

I have a raceland windblocker, get it. It works perfect and is cheap.
Also got my auto top to work but it wasn't closing properly well I say that someone bent a bracket and then apon further investigation some bolts on the frame rail are missing and a arm from motor is missing. I do have a semi auto top LOL
1 day I will fix it but for now it's fine and I barley use it because I have a hard top."I wanna see da boat movie"
