'92 325i dash light replacement, power antenna, soft top questions

[johnqin]

A newbie here. I apologize if I do not have the right format for this but here goes. Recently acquired a '92 325i convertible, nice shape but needs some work. Items on my to do list are as follows any suggestions would be appreciated.

1) Replace the dash light that illuminates the speedometer. Do you really have to remove the SRS and steering wheel to gain access to these lamps? If so, is this a DYI job?

2) Power antenna does not work fuse looks okay - what else could it be?

3) The BMW canvas is in good shape on the soft top but the rear glass was removed - cut back to the zipper - by the previous owner. Can the zip out rear glass in the soft top be replaced economically?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link. We actualy acquired the 325i for my daughter and my son went out a couple of weeks later and picked up a 525i - I think we / they are hooked.

A follow up. In looking at the weblink you attached the effort seems very simple but... I tried this and there seems to be resitence to tipping the cowl out far enough to access the additional screws that actually hold the instrument cluster sub frame. I do not want to damage anything by using brute force. Do I just continue to pull or am I missing something?

Thanks again.
