Hi, I have no way out for put my soft top to the body.

Thank you for picture by Artboakrill. But it's only show outside.

I really need to see inside how side soft roof to stick into side rear mirror and into around edge of body.

Old soft roof was mistake, it's drilled the hole in the back truck and screw in.

If someone have cabriolet, please show me some picture inside between soft top and body, how to stick together.

Need to find aluminium corner too.

Thank you

Montri s.

The 13 Phillips head screw snaps hold both the chrome trim & attach the top to the body. The interior has vinyl covers screwed to the the body to hide where the material extends below the exterior trim. My top has the interior screws covered. The top attaches to the frame around the window with large screws. Latches connect to the top & the windshield frame. The staples or screws attacking the top to the frame are under a glued foam cover.

 

My top was professionally made from the disassembled pattern of the previous top in Vermont, USA.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
