Kinematics Box
Kinematics BoxThe cylinders press the convertible top compartment lid into the down position such as to operate the cable assemblies that in turn engage the catch hooks. The cable assembly runs from the kinematics box to the main bearing of the convertible top. After the cable assembly has been operated, the Hall sensor signals the Convertible top compartment lid down and locked status to the kinematics box.
Note: The convertible top compartment lid can no longer be locked after opening the electro hydraulic convertible top using the emergency facility. Consequently, the driving wind can rip the convertible top compartment lid out of its hinge.
