1. Park position on raising top
The park position on raising the top, i.e. the position in which the top stops before being latched, is adjusted by means of balancing-link cams located inside the top, adjacent to the top of the quarterlights.




On being raised, the leading edge of the top should stop in the park position, 20 - 30 mm (0.79 -1.18 in) above the wind- screen frame. The front of the top must also be parallel with the frame.

2. Guide pin




To adjust the guide pin, which inhibits lateral movement of the top, loosen the nut.

3. Latching mechanism hooks
To adjust the height of the latching mechanism hook, slacken off the Torx screw and then rotate the hook. One complete turn of the hook increases or decreases its height (depending on which way it is turned) by 1 mm (0.04 in).




Press down on the front corner of the top to ensure that no play is present.

4. Side rail front section




Use the screw in the hinge between the front and middle sections of the side rail to bring the front section of the side rail in line (parallel) with the door window and middle section.

5. Top assembly folded position




To adjust the end position of the top when folded down, slacken off the nuts on the rear stop on the top frame mechanism when the top is down.




A special gauge (as shown) must be used for correct adjustment.




Position the gauge as shown and then adjust the stop to the correct position.
