BMW E46 convertible top

BMW E46 convertible top with the optimum price-performance ratio

• The chassis numbers play no further role in the allocation of the BMW convertible top to your vehicle.  
• The BMW E46 convertible tops are made to measure, nothing needs to be sewn.

• Our BMW E46 convertible top is designed like the original convertible top. Minor modifications can be found in favour of quality or price advantage.
• This is how a BMW E46 convertible top looks really good, you will be proud.
• We give you the price difference between the mechanical and electric soft top.
• The cross seams for the reinforced bows under the roof of our BMW E46 convertible top are not visible from the outside. This means that these seams cannot be damaged by mechanical impact from the outside. Our manufacturing method completely eliminates the risk of leaks, as no seam stitches are created at these points during production.
• There are two convertible top versions within the model years:  

Execution:

• The convertible tops for your BMW E46 from our company are equipped with mounting strips, so that you only have to screw the BMW convertible top as with the original.
• The mounting points are thus fixed.

Hooded window:

• A window film approved for the original convertible top is used for the BMW E46 convertible top. The corresponding test number is embossed. The window has the original thickness.
• We weld the window beading to the film pane. This prevents moisture from seeping through. (A quality advantage that you cannot see)
• The rear window is sewn in with an internal window frame with an exactly parallel double seam.
• We supply your new E46 convertible top with green windows as standard. If you would like clear or grey windows in your new BMW E46 convertible top, we will be happy to make you an offer.
• Yellowing of the high-quality windscreen film we use for the BMW E46 convertible top usually only starts when the top is already worn out. In the case of the original soft top, this is also approx. 10 - 15 years depending on the parking situation of the vehicle. This is because 10 years of blazing sun in summer is more damaging to the windscreen film than the shade in a garage or under a carport.
• Better scratch resistance of the windscreen surface can be achieved simply by repeated polishing with a good, simple acrylic car polish.

Reinforcements:

• All reinforcements on the inside are adapted to the original BMW E46 convertible top.
• A simple BMW E46 convertible top does not have these reinforcements, although they have a positive effect on the exact folding of a convertible top.

• With this type of BMW vehicle, it is necessary to check the tensioning straps between the soft top and the frame, as the rubber bands on the tensioning straps slacken after a few years.
• These tensioning straps must be replaced on the convertible version of the soft top with electric drive on your BMW E46. This is the only way to ensure the necessary folding function when opening the soft top.
• The rubber seal on the front edge of the convertible top only needs to be replaced if it is porous.
• Please also note that your new BMW E46 soft top does not yet have any folding points in the bends of the soft top linkage. This means that the soft top linkage has to exert more force to fold the soft top when it is opened. If your soft top linkage already has a lot of play in the joints due to wear, the new soft top may not open quickly at first. You should then allow the soft top a certain training phase and help it until the folding points are acclimatised.
• Pay attention to the convertible top version of your BMW E46 with regard to the side pocket. If you do not have an original soft top on your car, we can give you tips on which version you should have. You should be able to give us details of the side linkage.
