Soft top hydraulic hinge rebuild- Europe

Post by BMW_Slo » Sat May 20, 2023 1:35 pm

Hi to all,
Finally my left side hydraulic hinge (54347193449) started to leak.
Price for old hinges on e-bay is 1300€ and up and I’m not really in favor of spending so much money on this part.
Did anyone in Europe find any shop willing to rebuild it?
Sending in US is not really something I would like to do.

Thanks 🙏🏽

I do not know if there is a vender in Europe who re-builds hinges. However, my only advise is to have both hinge lifters rebuilt at the same time. You can bet your right side hinge lifter is also about ready to fail.

I think most people in the UK would just replace the whole roof with one from a breakers for about £300.

I think 1300€ is a huge number. Why don't you search on the other platform like Amazon? Almost all of the things on e-bat are expensive.
