BMW E36 convertible top with bag black

The BMW E36 convertible tops

of the brand class, with the optimum price-performance ratio.

• The BMW E36 convertible tops are made to measure, no more sewing or impregnation is required.
• Our BMW E36 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 E36 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 top are not visible from the outside on our BMW E36 convertible tops. 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.
• On the pictures of the BMW E36 on this page, you can see the version with the side pocket (older models).
• For the article ‘BMW E36 convertible top’ you will find tops without side pockets in this shop. The background to this is that the convertible top became pinched after a while due to a change in the soft top linkage. If you install a convertible top without a pocket on a vehicle that originally had a pocket in the soft top, it is possible that you will get these pinch points on your BMW E36 after a while. So you should stick with the pocket version if you have such a soft top on your car.

• The convertible tops for your BMW E36 from our company are equipped with mounting strips, so that you only have to screw the BMW convertible top, as with the original.

• A window film approved for the original convertible top is used for the BMW E36 convertible top. The corresponding test number is embossed. The window has the original thickness.
• The rear window is sewn in with an internal window frame with an exactly parallel double seam.
• We weld the window beading to the film pane. This prevents moisture from seeping through. (A quality advantage that you cannot see)
• We supply your new E36 convertible top with green windows as standard. If you would like clear or grey windows in your new BMW E36 convertible top, we will be happy to make you an offer.
• The high-quality window film we use for the BMW E36 convertible tops usually only starts to yellow 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.
• A better scratch resistance of the windscreen surface can be achieved simply by repeated polishing with a good car polish (available in the shop).

Reinforcements:

• A simpler BMW E-36 convertible top does not have these reinforcements, although these reinforcements have a positive effect on the exact folding of a convertible top.
• All reinforcements on the inside are adapted to the original BMW E36 convertible top.

Please check the following before ordering:

• 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 your BMW E36 if the soft top has an electric drive. This is the only way to ensure the necessary folding function when opening the soft top.
• The sealing rubber on the front edge of the convertible top only needs to be replaced if it is porous and heavily weathered on the surface. A test with an old cloth and glitter from the drugstore or the internet will clarify the situation.
• Please also note that your new BMW E36 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 E36 with regard to the side pocket. If you do not have an original soft top on your car, we will give you tips on which version you have. You should be able to give us some details of the side linkage.
