Installing Tension Straps
Information
If the aluminum rivets for securing the tension strap are drilled out too big/too deeply, the main folding top bow and corner bow can become damaged. Check the drill bit diameter and drill depth required for the rivets from the parts package (rivets → Diameter: 4 mm → Length: 12 mm).
Information
- During repair work, drilling chips can fall into the inside of the tension bow when boring out blind rivets.
- For corrosion protection reasons, the tension bow must be cleared using compressed air. The tension bow must then be treated with cavity preservation.
Information
- Only use aluminum rivets from the parts package.
