Z3 hardtop mounting hardware retrofit for a 96 1.9l picture needed

[Chris 1996 Z3]

Can someone post a picture of the mounting hardware behind the seats so I can get a better understanding of where the brackets are bolted into the car? Preferably without the plastic bracket cover. That would be a great help as I hope to install the hardtop this weekend and don't want to pull apart something on the car I should't.

cheers

Hardtop pin.jpgHere is a picture of the hardtop pre fit taken from the drivers seat looking backward, you can see just the metal tip of the mounting pin attached to the hardtop. This tip goes into the mounting hardware. Rotate the pic 90 and the black locking handle will be at the top of the frame.

Yes. There are three holes but the mount kit only comes with two bolts per side. Only BMW knows why...

Update, have started (retro fit) installation of hardtop hardware and on my 1996 there are only two holeshardtop mounting hardware installed 96.jpg
