Asking for guidance from anyone who has experience on this-

I need to remove the OSR wing

I've read the guide here https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121246 by simon 3.2M and its good- thank you

However- taking the front wing off its clear on investigation that the hex headed bolts are very slightly spot welded, you can hear them break with a pop as they come off and you can see the small dab when you look at them

So- my concern is, with the difficult bolt described in the link, what do I do if (like I very nearly did on the front wing) strip the hex head?

Anyone got any advice? Apart from don't strip the bolt!?

...and dont forget to start by taking the Aerial base base off........it a Hex screw from under the Aerial in the Boot...... see picIMG_1223.JPG
 
Hopefully I won’t need to do near side too Barry!

Have you taken the wings off yours yet?
 
I was fortunate as i did it with the roof removed ....but saying that there is only the one screw/nut which is covered by Simon 3.2, that was a bit difficult/ hidden. The 2 screws at the back end of the fender where it meets the Bumper where my biggest challenge, as the where rusted fast .A bit of trickery with a small cutting disc sorted that problem. Just patience and perseverance and a break between each screw and it will soon be done . Good Luck. :D
