Finding And Fitting Manual Soft Top Roof 1998 318I

[bringbackbostongreen]

Any tips on finding and/or fitting a replacement roof?

In particular, is it possible to buy and fit only the fabric bits? Or is it just not worth it?

Would it be madness to try to sew one myself (I'm not bad at sewing, but not keen if I don't have to).

NB - I've got a Boston Green 'un, and No, a black roof will not suffice.

Not desperate yet, but starting to plan ahead, as I suspect my current roof won't last this coming winter.

Many thanks!

Hi,give my mate Paul a ring on 07891 00 36 36 and tell him I (Dave) sent you,He's always got convertible roofs available. easier to just replace the whole thing than try and do bits yaself IMO !!

p.s. Welcome to BMWOC :)

Welcome Marina, Enjoy the forum, agree with Dave about replacing the whole thing.

Thanks for all the help, guys, and the welcome!

It's nice to hear.

BTW, did anybody get my tag? Just my little dig - how appalling is it that, were I to buy a new BMW today, I could get myriad shades of silver and grey and even Tippex white, but not green?!?!? So I'm hoping to start a pressure group.
