Adjustment (Without Marked Ranges W, X, Y & Z)

NOTE: Two adjustment procedures are available dependent on visual inspection. Vehicles with catches marked with switching ranges (W, X, Y & Z), and vehicles without marked switching ranges (W, X, Y & Z). Inspect caches for appropriate procedure. For vehicles without marked ranges, See ADJUSTMENT (WITH MARKED RANGES W, X, Y & Z) 
NOTE: During procedures the numbers in parentheses, within steps, correspond to numbers inside the illustration(s). The word arrow(s) in parentheses, within steps, is used to point out specific components or movement.
  1. Cut paper strips according to drawing and marks as indicated. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
  2. Glue paper strips (W, Z) to catch so that upper edge of rotating lock (5) forms a line with the coupe roof catch (W) when the rotating lock is pressed downward with thumb (against stop). Glue paper strips (X & Y) to catch so that upper edge of rotating lock (5) forms a line with the main catch (X) in the locked state (press down with thumb to eliminate play). See Figure . Continue adjustment as if catches were supplied with marks. Go to step  1 under ADJUSTMENT (Catches Marked W, X, Y & Z).
