SUBJECT:
Replacement Parts for Convertible Top

MODEL:
E30 Convertible

Situation:
The convertible top frame assembly contains a number of pivot screws and rivets which are not shown on the parts microfiche. Since these parts can wear, break, or fall out and become lost, the most common ones have been made available through the Parts System.





Please refer to the diagram for the part numbers of the various part.

Replacement:
The original screws are staked in place with a punch after they have been installed. If the original screw cannot be readily removed, it may be necessary to use a pointed die grinder stone on the staked area to allow the original screw to be removed.

When installing a new screw, use a thread lock liquid and a center punch to stake the screw in place.
