The Soft Top Shop
BMW Z3
There
are two main types of mohair on the market, Stayfast and
Twilfast.
Twilfast
is the best you can get and will last many, many years and used by
prestige car makers like Bentley and BMW (called Sonnenland in
Germany).
WE
ONLY USE TWILFAST FOR OUR HOODS.
Stayfast
is the cheaper, thinner alternative, that over time will stretch
and sag.
The
rear window is made from the same plastic and of the
same
thickness
as the original and is bonded to the hood, thus eliminating any
chance
of leaking around
the zip like the original BMW hoods
did.
You can choose between a hood with or without relief pockets. When the Z3 first came out, the hood didn't come with relief pockets but after about a year BMW started making them with them in.
The purpose of the pockets is to dissipate the pressure inside the car when the doors are shut. BMW felt if both doors were shut at the same time, then the pressure this would cause inside the car could damage the zip holding the rear window in.
