MADE WITH SUPERIOR GERMAN ELASTIC JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL

This item is for one pair of black replacement tension straps that fit all models of the 1987-1993 BMW 3 series convertible. Your original tension straps will lose their elasticity over time and the front or rear loops may break. Failure may cause damage to your convertible top and void your warranty. Therefore, we recommend replacement when you change your BMW convertible top.


In the example drawing above you can see where these straps are installed.  In this rendering the strap labeled "A" on the left has lost all of its elasticity and is no longer working as designed. This is typical over time and it should be replaced. The more you open and close the top, the faster these will wear.


TENSION STRAP
We recommended you replace the tension straps at the same time you replace your convertible top. These generally wear out faster than the convertible top.


 

Four big pickups get low marks in crash tests

Wed, 11 Feb 2009

Four 2009 full-sized pickups got low marks in side-impact crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a research group for auto insurers. Crash protection is "poor" in crew-cab versions of the Chevrolet Silverado and Nissan Titan without side-impact airbags, according to test results the institute released on Wednesday. The Dodge Ram with standard side-impact airbags got only a "marginal" rating, the institute said.

'400,000 children in smoky cars'

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of children travel in smoke-filled cars every week, a charity has warned. The British Lung Foundation (BLF) estimates that in England more than 430,000 children aged 11 to 15 are exposed to second hand smoke in cars each week. The charity, which conducted analysis on official NHS data, said that 185,000 children of the same age are exposed to smoke while in the family car on "most days", if not every day.

Audi SQ5 costs £43,870 in UK

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The diesel Audi ‘RS’ Q5 – the Audi SQ5 – with 309bhp and 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds, will cost £43,870 when it arrives in the UK in spring 2013. That means Audi’s 3.0 litre V6 BiTurbo TDI with a healthy 309bhp and 479lb/ft of torque, enough to deliver the SQ5 to 62mph in 5.1 seconds, on to a top speed of 155mph and deliver an official economy figure (although you’ll never get it) of over 40mpg. The power goes through an eight-speed tiptronic ‘box to all four wheels and you get a sound actuator in the exhaust to give you a non-diesely roar. Audi has also dropped the suspension on the SQ5 by 30mm compared to the regular Q5 S Line for a more sporty manner, and if you opt for Audi’s Drive Select Adaptive Dynamics you’ll also get  Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Efficiency modes (and an Individual mode too if you opt for HDD SatNav as well) which alter the steering, transmission, throttle and even the exhaust actuator to suit.
