Hardtop
*
– roadster
The fabric top does not have to be
removed even in winter, when the
hardtop is normally in constant use. In
order to prevent water spots and
mildew stains, the fabric top must be
completely dry before it is stored in the
convertible top compartment.
Two people are necessary for the
installation and removal of the hardtop.
Work with extreme caution during this
operation to avoid paint damage and
damage to the body and hardtop.
You may purchase a hardtop lift
*
from
your BMW center. This accessory is
especially designed to facilitate installa-
tion and removal of the hardtop.
Installation
Hook the protective fabric on the
convertible top linkage (arrow).
Open the convertible top and fold it
down in the convertible top compart-
ment, refer to pages
40 and 44 .
When doing this, make sure the rear
window is laid down evenly and free
of creases. To prevent the rear window
from being scratched, position the
protective fabric in the window fold.
Do not install the convertible top cover.
Lower the side windows and remove
the rod antenna if necessary to avoid
damage.

Rotate the cover panel which is located
in the right and left trim panels behind
the seats in the direction of the arrow
until the opening for the hardtop mount
is completely free.
Remove the hardtop from the protec-
tive cover. Clean any dirt and dust from
the contact surfaces between the
hardtop and the vehicle body in order
to protect against abrasion.
Position the hardtop on the mounts with
the assistance of a second person.
