ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

DOWEL PIN ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. 1)

(1)Loosen dowel pins.

(2)Position dowel pins to the center of the receiver holes in the windshield header.

(3)Tighten dowel pins and verify adjustment. Refer to Cam Adjustment or Control Link Adjust-

ment paragraphs of this section to adjust forward or rearward position of the top header.

LATCH HOOK ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 1)

If the convertible top latching effort is excessive, it can be reduced by lengthening the latch hook. The top header weatherstrip requires enough compression to prevent air and water leaks. Adjust latch hook to achieve reasonable latching effort and proper sealing.

FRONT TO CENTER RAIL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 2)

To align the roof rail weatherstrips to the door and quarter glass contact, adjust the front to center rail adjusting screw. To decrease pressure on door glass turn adjuster inward. To increase pressure on door glass turn adjuster outward.

and thrust link. It may be necessary to lengthen the control links 1 or 2 serration after a cam adjustment. The position of the cam high side determines the angle between the center and rear side rails. When the high side is fully forward, the angle is at a minimum, and when turned rearward, the angle is increased. An increased angle increases the forward movement of the top. The cam high side is indicated by a arrow on the cam threaded end.

TO ADJUST CAM SETTING

(1)Lower top to half down position to remove all possible strain from the cam.

(2)Loosen set screw and tap cam threaded end with a soft faced hammer to loosen any paint bond between cam and linkage.

(3)Using a 3/16 Allen wrench, rotate cam as necessary and secure set screw.
