Anyone around have any experience replacing the convertible top on a cabrio? I've watched the videos, have the parts, but am looking for someone to guide me through the process. Will trade labor or money for your help and expertise!

Thanks, but I already know "how" to do the job from watching the video. It looks like there is some finesse required in aligning the top and putting the right amount of sealant in the correct places. Any chance you want to lend a hand?The Definitive 1991 M-Technic Thread - a work in progress

I had to buy all new seals to the tune of about $450 from thebmwpartstore.com (good discount) and I forgot where I got the elastic strap from - $165.
Have you done one before?The Definitive 1991 M-Technic Thread - a work in progress

I got the install video from BMW, as well as one from the company that sold me the top. I'm going to brave it. If anyone in Sac wants to come see how it goes, look me up.The Definitive 1991 M-Technic Thread - a work in progress
