Rear Plastic Window for BMW E36 Convertible

Did not fit my 1998 M3

The window fit in perfect and was not hard to install I did take the time to mark where the old zipper started and ended to help with getting the new window in. Whole process only took myself and a helper about 30min to install only down side is there is a mild blur through the window when looking in the rear view mirror not sure as to why otherwise I would have given a 5star review

Window fit great and the car looks amazing! Fast shipping!A second person holding the window up while I got the zipper started was a definite necessity. I tried it a couple of times like the instructions said to install it with the top up a few inches, but the 3rd time left the top attached to the windshield. 3rd time was a charm, the zipper went without any issues. The post office handled the box like wild monkeys and lost the install kit, but the seller sent out another install kit immediately.It did take awhile though, there were several attempts where I stopped at the first corner because it was obvious I had the window alignment way off. By 3rd attempt I mean zipping the window all the way around. Little frustrating but definitely worth the money and effort.

First your original window failure is probably not only due to age, but your zipper has come undone in spots. Set some time out of your schedule to do some sewing. I had to sew my zipper on both sides and reinforce in other areas as well. This process takes forever, get some good needles because you're going to break a few. Get an extra tube of cement glue you're going to need it. The kit does not come with the little clamps BMW part# 54318134598/599. Use both zippers one to bring everything together and other to make sure the zipper stays together, sew the beginning and end of the zipper so it does not come apart.

My last one from Emiata (same seller but last time I bought it directly from his website) lasted 7+ years. I think that's about the best you are going to get in terms of replacement products for a 25+ year old car. He also responds very quickly to emails if you were to have an issue.

RearPlasticWindowForBMW E36 Convertible 3/4" wider than old window. Window appeared as advertised. Had extra trim material sewn in, old window did not, had rubber finish ring. Instructions vague whether extra trim material goes inside or outside existing top. We put inside. Adhesive tube appeared adequate, but only 1/4 full, not enough to complete job. Used 3M #77 to finish. Messy install.

I am going to have it put in by a pro. It looks a little more complicated than it appeared on Amazon's site.

Such a great seller! Amazing price and awesome prodect.took me 30 mins to install.Really happy with my purchase thanks alot !!
