You do realise that right now, across the planet, various Z4 forumites are out there measuring the gap between roof and hood to report back and see how high they can get your stress levels...

I'll just nip out to the garage with the tape measure....

Doesn't it depend on how high you have your seat set??

Ummm, no... The roll hoops are fixed

Mine has the chrome line trim and the roof has actually marked / shined up the outside corners of the hoops

mrlozzer - the backing on my headrests has worn though because of a tall person owning my car prior to me and having the seat right back touching the hoops. Also made shiny marks on the hoops...

I never worried about all these things touching, rubbing and chaffing until Andy started his various 'gimp mask' threads. I even had a dream last night about it.

If that's all we've got to worry about, first world problems!

Tell us about it. Did it involve a pool ball and whips and some lubricant for all the rubbing and chaffing............on the roof

Put it this way I daren't tell the wife.

Forget the tape measure, some feeler gauges might be more useful.... :roll:

Well why bother, the roof isn't supposed to be uo anyway when you drive the Zed

Yeah... I was having a late night moment there, I think!!

I should tell you mine don't touch.

However, I just went out and checked and sure enough they do!

 

[Lillywhite]

So we're all agreed that the hoops touch the headlining, with or without the 'gimp mask'' fitted therefore unless the top of the 'gimp mask' has a Brillo pad finish, which mine hasn't I fail to see how this could damage the headlining.
So Andy, there is one less thing for you to worry about! :wink:

That ain't going to be a problem with me.... I'm a short-arse!

Mine had the same thing... took me a while to work out how the marks had been made. Never worried about it.

Never noticed the roll hoops touching the hood either...

 

[Bing]

Yeah, not just marks though - literally worn right through the material on the back of the seats

 

[andysat]

Thanks chaps- i can rest at ease with this issue then,its been good to talk it through

 

[gannet]

yep, just like mine had... I seem to recall someone on here had found some kind of a spray which restored it's look a little... no idea what to search for though
