The eMiata rear window arrived today with the instructions, glue etc. will get my head around the install and give it a go in due course.

Ordered a rear window from eMiata, was sent yesterday so will have another project to tackle in the next few weeks. Will put up some pics when it arrives and will try and document the install for the forum.

Thanks Murray much appreciated and thanks for the offer of a chat about it. The seatbelt webbing is worn so was advised that it needs to be replaced at some point, hence needing to access the tensioners wof this week will clarify this. Thanks for the tips re the screw locations, I figured there must be something holding it in place. Cheers Keith

Thanks Murray that’s really good to hear, I’ll be giving one a go. Another question for you......have you ever had to replace seatbelt webbing or access the seat belt tensioners under the rear storage boxes? I’ve been trying to remove the rear centre storage box and there are two screws at the base of it that can only be accessed by loosening the entire centre console unit which I’ve done but I just can’t get it loose enough to get to the screws. I’m reluctant to go to the extent of disconnecting wiring in and around the audio head unit which seems to be where it’s staying more connected than I’d like... if that makes sense! cheers Keith

Ok so the rear vinyl window in the convertible roof of my 1999 Z3 has cracked and needs to be replaced. These are the zip in windows. Anyone had any experience with the non OEM replacements from eMiata in the US? They are a lot cheaper than the OEM replacements and the reviews seem pretty good.

Lovely engine alright, with an SUV as my daily driver the Z3 feels like a go-kart when it gets a run on the weekends!

Hi limepanda I see you mention some experience with Z3’s, have you ever had to remove the rear storage boxes? I need to replace my seatbelt webbing and getting to the tensioners is complicated. The centre console has to be loosened and raised to get to some screws at the rear. I can get it loose but can’t seem to disengage where the audio head unit is. US forums give advice but so far Ive found it to be inaccurate. Any tips appreciated.

Hi all, new member here from North Shore, Auckland. Recently acquired a 1999 2.8 Z3 and am sorting out a few cosmetic issues and getting to know the quirks of these cars. I’m wanting to keep it all original. Will post some questions I have elsewhere.
