What is missing?????

[NazTee]

Okay, so the shop that did my paint job lost a couple of trim pieces.... I figured it all out except one.... Can you identify which piece is missing? I had it at the dealership & even they couldn't figure it out.... it is the upper door corner that is missing...I know because I had the tops of the interior fiberglassed it changed the dynamics but I don't think that would alter the corner seals/trim.... (thank you thank you in advance)

The rubber trim.

You're missing the bottom window seal. I seals the outside and front/back of the window. It might even wrap around and seal the inside too. I've not looked at might that close to determine that yet. They are around $50 each.

Edit: Nevermind, what I described is Coupe-specific I guess. =(

Edit 2: It shows that same piece for my Coupe as well. I don't think that's correct though. Maybe the rubber seal goes over that piece, but there is an all-encompassing rubber seal for the window, I'm sure of it.

Yeah I know I'm missing the outside seals, to the tune of $125 but they didn't wrap around to the corners like you'd think they would. and of course the dealership didn't have any Z3's on the lot to inspect... so at $11 a piece I order what I thought might be it.... it is kinda hard to tell since the fabrication changed the dynamics of the door it throws everyone off..... good thing or bad thing?

Uh.. Thats the dealerships fault..

I think you're right, #16. Nothing else looks right in the other diagrams.

So I chased another Z3 off the road last night to snap this picture...
(guy must have thought I was nuts asking to take a picture of his door jam)

Looks like the all-encompassing wrap-around rubber window seal I was talking about.

I would agree... I was just concerned since stripping the leather off the top of the door & fiberglassing it - would have made it impossible to replace... not! Already ordered! I have to say though, I'm really surprised how "anti-friendly" the Z3 owners in my area are..... I've been trying to run someone down for weeks and you'd like I was running around with the plague asking to sleep with their daughters . . . . .

I need to take a road trip to be "run of the road"...

[Racer MXM]

you should have flashed them...and we are not talking headlights here...or maybe we are depending on who you are...looooooooooooool

You know, at any given moment, there's a selection of ///M Coupes/Rdstrs and the occasional Z3 taking short & long term residence immediately to the east of Bradenton; straight down Hwy 64, then north on Rye Rd to the outskirts of Parrish.

hrm..must be an old picture Randy, I don't see an impala in the lineup

You are correct, or I would've put it on the driveway too! Hard to believe, but in those previously posted pictures, there were only two (2) other couples over, "Vinci's" EB ///M Rdstr & his parent's CB ///M Coupe; looked like enough cars for a pretty good sized party

The Impala is still safe and sound, though hard to believe I'm a full month behind; December was a pretty rough month...

[NazTee]

Wow, looks like a nice lineup.... if I didn't love my baby so much I might be a tad bit jealous.
