It's Spring, when an e30 Cabrio owner's thoughts again drift back to top down cruising, wind blowing in your hair, hearing the birds, pollen driving your sinuses crazy.
Now's the time to upgrade your tonneau and soft top gas struts to take full advantage of the weather without excess frustration when raising and lowering your top. I had these custom made by the same European factory that makes my seat shocks and I have them installed in my own cabrio.
The deck lid struts we all know about but many Cabrio owners dont even know the top hinge has struts too. On a manual top they counter balance the weight of the top so it is MUCH easier to raise and lower. This really helps when you have to walk around to the other side to tuck your tension straps or to position the canvas which hates to fold itself.
On an electric top these will take a big load off of your expensive motors and hardware which should add to their lifespan. It is the same part for both manual and electric tops.
Included with each pair are the plastic sleeves which last I checked are NLA. Note also that I will not be reordering these so whatever I have left is it, so if you arent ready or dont have a cabrio yet, you may want to grab a set while you can.
I've been selling the soft top struts for $89 shipped CONUS and the deck lids for $40. Now (includes CONUS shipping and fees):
Top Hinge Struts $75/pair
Deck Lid/Tonneau Struts $35/pair
All 4 for $99 !!! Stupid cheap, I know !! PM me for PayPal info
