Information
- On vehicles that were operated for an extended period with the convertible top open or with a hardtop, the centering pins of the roof frame and the locking hook might not engage in the windscreen frame the first time the convertible top is closed. It is necessary to provide manual assistance at the handhold on the convertible-top latch. The folded convertible-top covering must first stretch again.
The tension put on the tensioning bow by the left and right tension cables braces the convertible-top covering and presses the tension bow seal against the convertible-top compartment lid. If the pressure of the tension bow seal is too great, the convertible-top compartment will project with respect to the lid and the side panel.
Adjustment procedure: Raise the convertible-top compartment lid to upper position. Adjust tension of the tension bow at the hexagon-head bolt in the adjusting piece on the roll-over bar → Adjustment range: approx. 15 mm according to the lid and side-panel contours and the contact pressure on the convertible-top compartment lid.
