Fits the 1987-1993 318i, 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3 Convertible
MADE WITH SUPERIOR GERMAN ELASTIC JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL
This item is for one pair of black replacement tension straps that fit all models of the 1987-1993 BMW 3 series convertible. Your original tension straps will lose their elasticity over time and the front or rear loops may break. Failure may cause damage to your convertible top and void your warranty. Therefore, we recommend replacement when you change your BMW convertible top.
In the example drawing above you can see where these straps are installed. In this rendering the strap labeled “A” on the left has lost all of its elasticity and is no longer working as designed. This is typical over time and it should be replaced. The more you open and close the top, the faster these will wear.
I was very happy with these straps except for a certain spot where it skips the factory mounting holes. I would still recommend these straps for purchase.
The person who installed the top was as pleased as myself with the snug fit. He is a second generation installer and said I received a quality product.
Same review as listed above regarding the installation of the convertible top.
Good thing I ordered new the straps. The 24 year old straps had lost their elasticity. Your products gives my project a sharp, clean look.
Straps arrived with new top quickly and as promised. Great value after shopping arround online. Recommended to be replaced when replacing top.
