Replacing Bow Straps on a Z3 Convertible Soft Top

[@au1639]

Excellent video. My Z3 encountered a water leak into the trunk area. The butyl tape in this tacking bow area was literally melted down inside, due to the high heat of the summer. I will need to remove the back side of this soft top and redo the butyl tape. Your video allowed me how to remove this tacking bow bolts, without removing the rest of the soft top. Thank you so much for the information. Instead of using the butyl tape, I might use a silicone sealant, or urethane sealant. They don't melt under the sun, but it may be extremely difficult to remove next time.

Right in the middle of this project right now this is super helpful

I hope will never have to go through this. But thank you. Amazing job

Sorry if I missed it but which plastic piece is the one that always breaks?

I have noticed inside the car you got at the bottom of the rear frame a seal. Have you placed it there or is it genuine one? I am asking because I do not have it and occasionally little leaks go through there. Thanks for the informative videos 👍
