    Lightbulb DIY BMW E30 Convertible Top Replacement

    Hello everyone !

    We are Simon and Pierre, from Pyrenees BMW's small Youtube channel.

    We just posted a tutorial on how to replace your convertible top on a BMW E30.

    English subtitles included !



    This was our first convertible top replacement ever, we followed a few old videos from BMW and collected informations throughout the web to be able to do this operation by ourselves.
    We are not professionals at all, the result isn't 100% perfect but we are still really proud of how it came out ! We went with a beige canvas top, which looks gorgeous to our eyes...

    We are truly happy to share this with you guys, and we are hoping that it will help !

    Looking forward to reading you

    Haha that's a good idea! Honestly , another pair of hand is really useful for this job, alone i would have been in trouble a few times i guess..
