Fix Or Sell Z3

Loopey
in BMW Z3 & Z4 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone,

I love my Z3 but haven't had it long. It has a leak where the top joints at the front. I can't decide whether to get it fixed or sell it as I have no idea of how to fix it.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

    Hi Clare, had a similar issue on my last 3 series vert, in my case the seals were ok and it was the roof itself soaking up water, which run forwards on the side rails and then poured into the car in the corners where it joined the top of the windscreen. Also on the E36 there where drain holes either side at the top of the windscreen in the rubber seals that block up over time. I cured mine by cleaning the roof and drain holes and waterproofing the canvas with fabsil (tent waterproofer) from Halfords.
