    How about changing the elastic straps that make the back of the top flip up when you first start putting the top down so the cover can open. My have worn out and I have not gotten around to changing them and a video would definitely help me out.

    I would like to see a video or a write up on how to replace the gas struts under the convertible boot cover. I think the bumper has to be removed, there are two small openings if you follow the struts but its almost impossible to see or work on anything

    Are you talking about the rear shocks for the car? Or the shocks for the tops cover?

    that would be the gas struts for the top's cover, when my top suddenly stopped working, i pushed the top down too hard and I heard a crack and heard the air leaking out. Its a bitch to get in that tight spot. So now I just use my top manually and use a hidden wire to secure it down

    Your struts shouldnt have anything to do with holding the top down...it will keep it up..but not down. The motor will raise and lower the top, the gas shocks holds it up, and the latch and bowden cables hold it down. Hope this helps.

    Also, a 'How to make your convertible top not sqeak like a motel vibrato-bed' video would be badass.

    Thanks so much man you rock.

    '97 328iC Silver (sold)
    + 1 for tension straps
    + 1 for rear window replacement
    Also - the seat belt trim / guides - how to replace those. Mine were shot and a minor PITA to replace, but unfortunately I didn't take pix when I was doing the job.
    One more - not 'vert specific - cabin air filter replacement. WTF was BMW thinking when they put the filter there? Oh yeah, that's right - $100 for the dealer for a $20 filter . . .
