Wanted Where to get a Z3 Rear Windscreen

[phil5476]

I want to order a rear windscreen for a 1998 Z3. I will get this delivered and fit it myself.

Does anyone know where one can be sourced.

None on Ebay.

Hi Phil,

If you follow the link in this article there is a recommend supplier. Will need to use google to translate it from german though.

Cheers, Gary

Hi, there are a couple on eBay UK one a BMW original and the other a black tint for £149 and £139 respectively but the one Gaz mentioned is a better deal. In my mind at about £80 and the thing that appealed to me it uses double sided tape rather than contact cement, which can prove hard to control and dries hard whereas the tape will stay flexible. Email them, they do English responses and good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I got one and did most of the fitting today. I have fitted the tape but have yet to glue it down.

I am unsure about the join between the mohair and the screen which will be exposed to the elements. The original screen had a thick dark plastic part with a groove which the mohair slots into. The new screen has no such groove in the thick dark plastic edge.

So how do I get what looks like a dovetailed join that is seen in you pictures?
