Aftermarket top with zip in rear window?

[bradnic]

brief update - I needed up buying the 54348134876 OEM top for big $$$ last year.. and it did NOT come with the zip out window. The other part number 54341468010 was NLA.

Info and pics of the OEM top here

I suppose the only way to get one of those now is to find a good condition original canvas and frame and take good care of it. my EM top has some small holes unfortunately from the electric top mechanism rubbing on the canvas.. there's supposed to be a cover over the main top motor, sleeve over the tonneau lid attachment rod and caps on the tonneau trim clips to prevent this. But lack of maintenance...

I haven't given up on finding a new OEM top with the original EM top specs though. Gonna check with BMW Classic and see if I can convince them to take the top I bought back.

Are you saying the canvas is different for an electric top ?

There's only a single top canvas now, 54348134876.

The manual and electric tops originally had differences - the electric top canvas had an extra bow. There were also versions with the zip out window, but you can't get them anymore. pics of the manual and electric top differences here
