BMW 1602 convertible - top roof cover


Go to solution Solved by Antonis1600cabrio,

Recommended Posts

Dear friends,

I am trying to finish the top roof cover of my 1600 convertible and my tailor asked me how the cover is ending in the right and left glasses in order to prevent the air coming to the back seats when the roof is closed and the is moving.

 

I attached the photo and i ask for your help if anyone know how this is working!

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you very much for your answer, very nice colour too.

Mine will be in Baikal Blue!

If it is possible to have a video too in order to see the mechanism how it folds the cover with the sides windows...

Dear Mark, thank you very much for your video.

I saw that the cover stek with the side car but if u can tell me if the fabric goes inside the window so it steaks together when it close and open the mechanism.

 

Thanks in advance,

Antonis

Unfortunately, I sold the cab a couple of years ago.  As I remember, there was an inner layer of the top that was attached to the rear of the side window frame and the outer layer of the top was anchored to the bottom of the window, but just draped over the back edge of the side window.

 

I hope your tailor can figure it out.

Dear sir, did you find any photos?

 

I think that jp5Touring was suggesting that you send a PM (private message) to BarneyT to see if he has any photos.  Just hover your cursor over the blue @BarneyT button and select Message.  You might also try @adawil2002 for pictures of his 1600 Cab.

There is an elbow shaped black plastic trim piece about 14" long that is attached to the window frame by 4-5 screws, and the fabric goes underneath it.  I can send pics but it will take a couple days until I can get to my storage.  I just installed my top last week, and I have a spare top in storage that I can disassemble and take pics for you.  I should be at my storage on Saturday.

    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
