The zip beginning to detach from my roof is my problem. I have managed to sew it back but it won't take much more abuse.
With the original zip in windows you can get a replacement for £85 but you need a zip puller to fit it, hence the £8 zip pullers.
A new window transforms a roof and £85 is a lot less than £600 and I have found that the cheaper windows could do with replacing after 4 years.
I had my rear window replaced on my old E36. I just unzipped the window and sent it of to a trimmer who cut a new window to the pattern of my old window and sowed the original zip back on. Refitted it in 20 minutes and it looked like a new roof. No wrinkles at all.
A new roof on an E36 was over £1200 for an aftermarket roof.
