E85 hardtop question

I seem to remember that all UK market cars come with the necessary fittings and wiring already in place.
 
i guess the reason UK cars came equipped with the necessary parts for the hard top is because it seems to rain more there then here in the US?

Very true. :rofl: Unless you live in New York :poke: :D :thumbsup:
 
There also was a retrofit kit for the fixings - no idea how rare these are by now. Probably not that popular mod as there was a limited number of hardtops in the market.

From my archives, the retrofit kit was 54 21 7 016 896, not found in Realoem anymore but the 5420 diagram shows the relevant parts. Couldn’t find the retrofit instruction sheet right now (certain I have it somewhere), but TIS 54 31 200 ”Removing and installing/replacing hard top mounting” covers the procedure, which is simple.
 
You can soon tell. Have a look behind the doors for the mounting holes - 3/4" diameter things to take a peg. They ought to be hiding under rubber covers
