SUBJECT:
Convertible Top Storage Compartment Lid Covering

MODELS:
E36 Convertible

Situation:

In 12/93 the vinyl covering for the convertible top storage compartment lid was changed from a foam backed vinyl to a laminated vinyl. The foam backed vinyl covers in Parts Department inventory will be superseded by the laminated covers as supplies are used up.

Repair Procedure:

If a damaged early style cover must be replaced, it is not necessary to remove the layer of foam that remains stuck to the lid.

The replacement cover is glued down on the edges only, similar to the procedure for the E3O convertible outlined in S.I. 41 01 91 (3289). In addition, the vent slots in the lid should not be covered with adhesive.

Warranty Status:
