Hi Mark. As part of my journey to restore a 27 year old Z3, your videos have been great. There's some jobs however which you haven't covered yet which may be useful to your viewers if open to suggestions. The big ones for me being how to adjust the roof latches correctly and how to reposition the rubbers along the top of the windows to close any gaps. The latches were not too hard to find but the rubber adjustment took ages to find a correct guide, and given how common leaks are as a result of these needing to be adjusted, would prove great for your viewers. Also given that a lot of time these cars are restored from old parts from scrapped cars, might be useful to have a piece on common parts between models and those specific to certain years. Eg, the 4 cylinders have different front bumpers to the 6 cylinders due to the airflow setup as well as the usual rear difference between the narrow and wide bodies.
I have found that when the resin is under pressure & being pushed into the cracks, a little heat from the inside of the windscreen helps to draw the resin into the cracks - either use the hairdryer or even a lighter👍🏼
Thanks again... but hey, it's not sunday, is it?🤔😁 Btw, really nice rims on Patrick's E30. Back in the 90s I had similar designs on my VW Golf mk2. It was a hell to clean them with a toothbrush every weekend.
Patrick has some great taste in BMWs. Still needs a Z3. Great video Mark. I had a company fill a chip on my X5 and it is good enough until the next big rock.
Great video thanks for sharing. Even though it didn't work out perfectly, now we have some ideas of the things that we can try to make it better. I have applied a little heat from the inside but I definitely recommend caution. Thanks so much, Cheers
Mark, Another great video (and attempt). Sorry it did not turn out as desired. Chips and cracks are always such a pain. Curious if new Z3 windshields are still available. 🙂
You gave it your best shot, I'll give you an A for effort and a C- for the product. Safelite advertises chip repair, I'm curios to know how well their results are in a similar crack...
@MomentofZed: Another One? You should practice your chip shot at the golf course not in your front yard... BTW: If I would have known I could have included my Z4 e89 with my Z3 e36 for my Zed of the week I would sent pics of both. Just for the record I enjoy driving the Z3 over the Z4...
Love the video Mark, thank you for everything. Do you recommend doing a heavy detail for a nice ceramic protection for at least a couple years? Or do it yourself?

I'm glad the videos have helped you! I appreciate the suggestions and I do have a lot to get too still!

Yep! Should have tried, they do it in the project farm video.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

I love those rotary dial rims!

Contractor is the way to go!
Nice video, again, Marc. Too bad it didn’t work out like it should. And thanks for sharing my car(s).
Thanks for submitting!
Well, I think it will prevent the cracks from getting worse.
Agreed!

Yep, the pro does that in the project farm video.
Good episode. 🏎️💨
Thank you!

Thanks! I was wondering that myself. Research time!

Got a fresh one on the Mazda. I'll do before and after photos of their work.

Great video as usual. I tried the exact same product on my other car with the same disappointing result. Time for some new glass?
I'm gonna run with it until it grows! Thanks for watching! Look forward to your next one!
Love the video Mark, thank you for everything.

It’s not a difficult project. I did mine myself.
I'm old-fashioned, wash every couple weeks, wax every couple months. I should do it more, but it cuts into filming time. 🙂
@@MomentofZed You sure are. I gave that up 20 years ago 😂
