Well, that is the BREXIT result.
Have it shipped to me and we will meet next spring/summer in Bavaria.

There is a French Z group planning a weekend mid of may here in Munich with about 30 Z's:

That sounds very cost effective!

My turn for hall sensor A696 to go west….

Just a big thanks Robbi for posting this thread, saved time googling etc, on its location.

Is it worth repairing this small tear in the boot seal? I've got a neoprene wetsuit repair kit so could use the black silicone "glue" from this. It's not letting in water.

Needs to be fixed ..it will leak..the seals are prohibitively expensive so a rubber based repair would be good..

Cheers. Will sort it

Guys,
Why do you place and discuss this specific topic in my maintenance thread?
It's definitely the wrong place.

[JakeS76]

Because it says roof maintenance issues. Why are you so picky?

E89: Retractable Hardtop (roof) Maintenance (and additional) tasks

Why are you so picky?

Cause I'm German!

Your individuell problem has absolutely nothing to do with maintenance.
This thread was built on request to collect general topics in this how-to section. Of course may this collection be hijacked by you, why not? And why not dropping the problem section at all? Not required anymore.

And of course may I drop my former hints to not hijack your water problems, as already done in the past.

Do you have the vichy.vsrsion of the Z4 with 6; reverse gears and 1 forward gear???

[JakeS76]

I think the misunderstanding came from the Post Title.If it had said "How to fix problems with e89 roof" or similar it would have been obvious that it was a "How to". Maybe you could have a "Do not add to How to posts" in bold at the top of the post.
I found the post through a search for roof problems not from going through the Submenu. So thought that it was a discussion post.
So I apologise for the misunderstanding.

It's a real shame that you've nuked this thread and deleted such valuable and helpful information. if there had been a problem with spammers, couldn't the mods have stepped in and locked the thread?

[RobbiZ4]

Initial post restored.
Very pity, that no admin supports the HowTo threads against individual problems (spam posts)!
