Does anyone have instructions on how to replace, and an on-line source
for the plastic rear window on a 1999 BMW Z3 Roadster?

The window is frequently listed on eBay.

If you inspect closely around the edge, on the inside, you'll notice there
is a zipper that holds the window in place.

I could be wrong, but I thought the zipper looked pretty easy. My E36 has a
zipper, and I thought that replacing the window was a relatively simple
task.

out. I just lived with it until I replaced the car with a Z4. Glad to hear
it wasn't a problem on your E36.

The OP might check Roadfly's Z3 board as I think the subject was discussed
there.

Here's a link I saved a while back regarding Z3 window replacement:

Doesn't appear to be just a zip out/zip in procedure, unfortunately.
Haven't tried it myself, even though the window on my Z3 is somewhat ratty.
When I'm driving the car, the roof is usually down anyway. :-)

Thanks Tom,

That is the link I was looking for.

I know it isn't just a zip out - zip in job.

I read that it is about a 2hr job and it takes 2 people.

They show up on eBay for about $200 (USD). When the new one arrives, you'll
see that there is a zipper to hold it in.
