Product Overview
This fabric covering replaces the weather-exposed portion of the E36 convertible roof while reusing compatible factory top hardware. It is not a complete powered roof assembly or a replacement for damaged frame linkages.
Owners replace the covering after years of ultraviolet exposure, tears around the rear window or leaking seams. Proper stretching and attachment are essential so the top closes and seals correctly.
