Wiesmann hardware fitting.

[Novus]

Hello, I recently bought wiesmann fitting kit but i can't find any sources on how to install it properly. Do you have anything pdf or can share an instruction of how to do so? My Z is 98' with semi-automatic softtop.

Wiesman parts rare and only compatible with the Wiesman hardtop wont fit standard hardtop.
Your best chance of advise is that someone on here who has previously owned one can give you advise think you will be hard pushed to find any kind of instructions relating to it

Thanks for reply Stephen, as far as i know Wiesmann fitting kit is fixed only by 3 screws but i dont know how to get to the place where is should install it.

Should fit into the same mounts on the side of the roof frame as the standard hardtop mounts you will need to remove a bit of trim on both sides to expose the threaded bolt holes.
Your zed being a 98 should have the later roof frame with the pre tapped holes early frames hardtop could not be fitted to.
Cant do you any pictures at the moment as i am currently in Norfolk and my zeds are 400 miles away.
If your still stuck at the end of this week give me a shout and i will sort you some pictures home by the weekend.
Stephen.

As steve says - the fitting location will be in the same place but will only work on Wiesmann roofs

I don't have the wiesmann but I imagine it bolts into the same place as the bmw brackets.

In my car with soft top up and left hand seat all the way forward looking behind the seat.

Just behind the gas strut you should see 3 threaded holes into the body/frame.

You need to pull out the foam bits that are there to reveal these spaces
