98 plastic window replacement instructions

I purchased an OEM BMW replacement window, but put off installing it because it looked like it would take a lot longer than I wanted to spend when I opened the package. Unfortunately, I now can no longer find the (as I recall, very terse and not terribly helpful) instructions that came with the window. Any chance someone could either post the instructions that come with an OEM replacement top, or send me a scan of same via e-mail? Even brief made-up instructions would suffice, if you remember how you did it but no longer have the instructions. I seem to recall that I have to buy rubber cement.

Any words of wisdom to impart from your installation experience would also be greatly appreciated. I see from a couple of other threads that this job is a real bear (e.g. 5 hours to do!).

Thanks very much. Wish me luck.

I believe there is a zipper down behind the top cover. I remember its a major pain to do one of these.

It only took me 2 hrs....Just removed the old window and replace it with the new one....It should come the the zipper...

there are instructions on ematia.com i just ordered a replacement window from them, if it ever arrives Il let you knowe how the installation goes

***CORRECTION ***** make that www.emiata.com sorry

Hi,

I know that you posted this some time ago. I don't know if you are still after instructions.

These are the instructions posted on the emiata page to replace the window they supply. Shouldn't be too different from the OEM part.
