How to Remove the Hard Top from a BMW

Model: BMW Z4 E85, E86 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Convertible top

Before you begin, open both doors to give yourself enough space to work without obstruction. Start by removing the covers near the hooks that secure the Hard Top. Once you remove these covers, you will find three Allen screws that you need to loosen. After loosening these screws, you can remove the roof. It is highly recommended to perform this operation with two people to avoid dropping and damaging it. Lift it off carefully. Once this step is completed, you will have successfully removed the Hard Top.
