So if someone rememoved all the convertible parts, motors, cables how much weight do you think would be removed, I am looking at a e36 m3 convertible, but comes with a hard top, so I was thinking of permanently attaching hard top, and adding x brace and partial roll cage to attain better rigitidy.

Did you end up doing that? Sounds like a bad ass plan would love to see it

@@detroitmeleisea13 no, I haven't...I've not found anything on how much weight is actually reduced lol, I have found that convertibles are way cheaper in e36, E46, so it's very tempting lol.

I have a 1996 328i. The roof apparently used to work in manual mode as the previous owner didn't know it was power assisted. Thanks to your video I have just 're attached the motors which were off. My question is do I have to reset the red lever under the rear seat? And also do the windows need to be down for it to work?

Great video. Just one detail missing on how the trunk flap opens? My e46, everything works but the trunk flap doesn't open and the top gets stuck midway. What do I need to diagnose/fix?

My guess would be latches are stuck. I just picked up an e36 with the same issue. I hope it’s easy to fix cause I need to get in the top storage compartment to change the suspension

Thank you for watching our DIY video. It is hard to say because it involves many parts, we recommend you taking it to an independent shop to diagnose it.

seems like you need to chance the two brackets that hold down the soft top.

John Berry are your two tension lock wires hooked up to the tonneau motor?

Lmao. My car exactly. Same color top, also estoril blue, except mine is factory 5 speed and sand beige. In my experience: the tonneau cover motor eats the cog gear ($40) replacement, and the top computer sauder traces crack, causing the tonneau cover to shudder and the the top not to work. Main top motor is trouble free, microswitches are trouble free, front motor dies. The tension straps wear out super quick and are very pricey TL:DR Top module and tonneau motor are the biggest failure points
