Roof clips + Armourfend
Evening all, after some advice.... would anyone happen to know the part number for the small adhesive clips that the roof trims clip onto??
Also has anyone found someone who can stonechip film the entire carbon roof as I'm not using this bloody thing again until its protected??!! Roof's getting relacquered again after picking up stonechips and need one clip! Glued the others down with gorilla glue. |

I wouldn't film the roof. Come time to peel it off you'll lift the clear coat straight off the carbon panel. It's a really bad idea putting those film on the roof. |

Just out of curiousity, is it because the clear coat isn't as well bonded to the carbon? Or why would a film peel it off?

I'm looking at fitting suntek self healing film £280 for whole roof. 100% covering the roof as it's so temperamental and prone to getting stone chipped. Film should last for years.
Thanks for part no just ordered from main dealer. |

I beg to differ, but hey it's easy to just buy a new roof from bmw if it goes wrong right?!
And yes I know you heat and stretch the film in the same direction it is laid and not just peel it straight back. Last edited by NZ_M3; 11-05-2017 at 09:50 AM. |
