Roll of duck tape or get the plastic window replaced. If you buy a new window it will have to have the new zip stitched in or if non-zip then the window stitched in. Its not cheap.

Around £200 for the job.

Maybe someone knows a cheaper fitter ????

TBH £200 all in sounds pretty good. My cousin did his on his Audi 80 cab 2.7 and the window alone was £185 - but them it was a case of un zipping it , zipping in the new one, and just ironing the edges to melt the glue and stick it down. Wish the E30's were that easy.
