Hey man do you have the link to where you bought the stuff been trying to find it
ebay.us/kPWweb
Link doesn’t work
Quicker and less things to worry about, good conversion to do!
💯 I absolutely love it! Makes everything so simple and quick.
I was just ripping the top off mine entirely but this video help quite a bit, so thank you 😂
Nice! Glad I could help 👍🏻👍🏻
Great Vid. I was just about to do this on my e36, but a drunk driver thought I shouldn’t have a nice car.lol
This is a great detailed vid for us e36 vert owners. By chance, you got a link or a screenshot of what was included for the manual tonneau cover kit? Thanks!

ive got a manual top e46 and i love its simplicity
I need this for my daughters e46
Mate, you are the best!!! Thank you so much!!!
I know this is old but the part at the top of the rear window has to go forward and then the bottoms part will go farther forward for you to get the Tonnue cover open.
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot
Solid video bro! Good job
This video is awesome! I’m going to try it tomorrow 💕
Wait the wire with the yellow plug, did you end up plugging it in or no?
Can you post the link of where you got the kit from? Also good job on the video for making it easier for everyone else👍
Kinda just have to look at ebay and see when a seller sells it, usually sell for about $175-$300 i got mine for $200
@@larrydingleworth2306 WHERE I JUST SAW ONE FOR $1,600 man what are people smokin

I keep getting a massive gap between the front of the top seal and the a top part of the windshield. I dont know how to fix this someone please help.
That was easy wow
In theory if I had just the latch piece could I still do this and leave the motors latched when closed and when putting down release rhe motors and lock back into place to close the tonneau cover ?
another great DIY
i can’t seem to get the rear portion to unlatch… any ideas ?
if you disconect the front motor will a throw a check engine light?
How did you remove the top motor about to try and take mine off
Any chance you have a photo of the actual motor that was deficient the one that latches the roof to the windscreen top? Or if anyone has the reference / serial number for that part would be very helpful it’s super hard to find one
Dang this car has come along way since you first picked it up. Lookin slick these days!
Thanks Chuck!
Please can somebody do this for mine e36 convertible I leave in Long Island New York
i need help. the lid on the rear that opens up and closes (metal) doesn't open up. i removed the rear seat, pulled the emergency handle (by the way does anyone have a video how to replace that one? has so much rust on the cable and doesn't properly seat back)disengaged the tonneau. the front latch is unhooked and roof is free .
Where do you find or how do you clean up such nice interior door cards and seats 😭
Hi … I need you help yo reset my top for E46 2005
How much would you say the total cost is or an estimate of it cause my top doesn’t work rn but if this is cheaper I might as well just switch to this, n the problem u have is the exact same problem I have, myfront motor dont work
$400 maybe
What are the part names or part numbers? You answered my 2 year ? In 30 seconds cause I am so over using 30 different types of tools to get my top up and down and a good chance of trying my computer
@@JCByrd just go on eBay type in E36 convertible manual top conversion.
I have a 1999 Mercedes’ slk230 and am looking to do the same thing. It’s a hydraulic system, but an o ring went out on the main cylinder and it leaks hydraulic fluid. Mercedes parts and repairs for such a complex little system is absurd. Like 500 for the part being repaired and that’s not including the install (which I can’t do myself).
Anyways, my issue is the smaller triangle windows that usually go down last in the process no longer go down automatically because the system is broken. I know how to manually power the window motors using a lawn mower battery, I’ve done it before, but would you have any recommendations on how to make it a quicker process. I have to remove some of the carpet in order to access the cables to connect them to the battery to manually slide the windows up or down
Hey bro do you know how to tighten the wire that connects to the door handle in the rear? mine doesn't seem to hold it that tight. My tonneau cover doesn't completely close like yours..
When the tonneau cover isn’t full engaged, does water become a problem? And also is there anyway for them to lock up without the manual kit as i have manual front latch already but the motors in the back are shot i believe
Help me out alot thanks bro for the video
because this change?
Is there anywhere I can get new aftermarket back and front seats or is the only option getting it from another e36?
You need your own reality show. So many cool projects. With a proper film crew you’d be golden!!!
Thanks Tommy! Yeah I have so much content I just need to get more out and edit it:
26:45 WHY, would they make this front system electric when manual is so easy and trouble free? I might have missed it but why did you have to go manual? What was wrong with the electric system?
It was broken and I didn’t want to mess with is because manual never breaks
It's so sad that nearly all automatic cabrio roofs break up over time...
how u get the second t30 screw off without cutting i dont have access to that
You’d have to remove the back of the top I think and fold it over if that’s what you’re talking about.
@@BlakesGaragetalking about the position switches i cant get access to the second screw that you used a makeshift tool on.
At 26:19 what size allen key did you use? would Hex key work too?
Do have the links to all the pieces you used for the conversion
I do I’ll post them up in a bit.
Good job. And here I sit wanting to do the opposite. Mine is manual and I want to make it semi electric.😁
Don't I'll be the one to say it's better to have it manual less headache
A good video and shows you working through the process as you go... But I can't help but think between the parts you bought and the time you spent figuring it out and getting it done... You could easily have just fixed it and maybe even added the same modules I added to mine that let you fully open or close with a single push of the button, even while in motion (you can set the maximum road speed it will work at).
Yeah I know I could have fix the electronic top but I prefer the manual as I'll never Han an issue again.
Intro got me
question , on minute 6:52 . do you use anything to connect that piece into the drill ? if so what piece is it ? and does it just gon straight into the drill ?
You just widen the opening of the drill and close it down onto those metal pieces and twist the correct way
could you of used a allen socket on a 1/4 or 3/8 ratched? Might get more leverage than turning an allen key
Yeah that thing want moving anywhere whiteout some heat.
Are those borbet 16's?
Where did you order your new interior seats etc? How much did that cost?
Got the seats at picknpull believe it or not.
Can you give me tips on making my 1998 gray seats look as good as yours?
Check my videos I did a whole video on how I cleaned them up before and after.
How did you remove the two bars on the sides?
Did you get them removed
Man where the hell can I find the cables for the manual tonneau release?
eBay or the junk yard
@@BlakesGarage thanks. You remember what you got yours for roughly? Only one set up rn for $2100😅
@@2wofacejefe ohh 😮 like 200
@@2wofacejefe guess I need to start scouring the junkyards and posting them online myself
I’m making someone a ton of money
Hi would this be possible to do do a Vauxhall/ Opel cascade.Tim in uk
No clue, probably if that was an option on those cars I’m sure you could buy all of those parts.
take out fuse #7 to override "Trunk Lock Out"
Nice thanks for the tip.
how much was this kit?
