Hi, Just bought a 03 z4, Would like to know, if to replace my ripped convertible top, do you have to remove the whole top assembly from the car first? Thanks, I really enjoy reading the post and advice that all of you give.

Yes.

If you look at the removal Hot-To, the actual top material is sandwiched between the two pieces of the rear hoop. That's why in the removal procedures I tell you NOT to remove those small torx screws which hold it together. When you remove those screws, the two halves of the hoop come apart and the fabric is free.

Number 11 is the hoop..
