Help replacing vert top in Sacramento

[P.Kelly]

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!

I did mine recently not such a difficult job front and rear are screws and there are 3 rivets on both pass and driver side rear pillars

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?

$365 shipped (EZ-ON brand) from hindsightseeing on ebay. The material is the smae, or virtually identical, to the original german canvas. The seams are stiched the same way and the pattern looks to be spot on.

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?

If your seals are in good condition u don't have to replace them as I didn't and I don't have any leaks at all

Anybody?

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.
