is that like a threaded nut you unscrew then just lift top off?Originally posted by GCMARK View PostComment

You don't have to "unscrew" it. it rotates about 3/4 of a turn and unlocks the pin.
Does your assembly look like it's screwed in in any way?
Is the top actually locked down back there? Or did somebody put some sort of pin in there that doesn't lock?
I don't know everything about these tops other than what I have to draw from on mine.Comment

That nut you see just sets the pin height. You just set that once. The top of the pin turns and locks into the recepticle on the car body.Originally posted by bastianshaw View Post

So it's not rotating off. Any ideas guys!Comment

Cut it or shave down flat spots until you can get a wrench on it. Perhaps there are flat spots already on it? Must have been some way to torque it down. Try taking off that flap without breaking it and see if you can remove it without breaking anything."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

90 degrees or 1/4 turn releases the post. It was originally a double nut @ 11mm size on the narrow top post. BMW sells a tool for the larger, lower adjustment nut.
I'm also in Walnut Creek, with a hardtop on our 87. You need to see anything or want to see our top go on & off, let me know.Comment

I pulled my hardtop off today and for the life of me I don't know what you havegoing on there. I'm thinking you can remove the speaker panels with the hardtop on then perhaps you can unbolt the body side of the pin socket and better deal with this once its off the car.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.
