IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! Pressure in hydraulic system drops and soft top loses its position.

Support rear roof shell to soft top cover with suitable auxiliary materials, e.g. rigid foam.

Rear roof shell is supported by auxiliary materials on soft top cover.

Auxiliary materials must lie over wide area and over entire length.

Choose auxiliary materials with smooth surfaces, as otherwise pressure marks may be produced in the outer skin and gasket.

Roof shells block each other.
