Convertible Top: Adjustments

Adjustment Locations:

CONVERTIBLE TOP ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to the figure above to determine which adjustment is required. Refer to the appropriate procedure for more information.

Roof Latch And Guide Dowel Pin:

DOWEL PIN ADJUSTMENTS
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.

NOTE: Refer to Cam Adjustment or Balance Link Adjustment to adjust forward or rearward position of the top header.

LATCH HOOK ADJUSTMENT
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.

Roof Rail Adjustment:

FRONT TO CENTER RAIL ADJUSTMENT
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.

Cam Assembly:

TOP FRAME CAM ADJUSTMENT
The top frame cam changes forward or rearward position of the top header in relation to the windshield header. The cam turns inside the rear side rail and thrust link. It may be necessary to lengthen the balance links 1 or 2 serrations 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. Remove Torx head screw.
3. Using appropriate Torx bit, rotate cam as necessary and secure set screw.

BALANCE LINK ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: DO NOT PLACE HANDS OVER GAPS IN MOVABLE CONVERTIBLE TOP COMPONENTS DURING SERVICING. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT

1. Remove convertible top head lining as necessary to gain access to adjusters.

Balance Link Adjustment:

2. With the top latched in up position, loosen both bolts just enough to permit moving link up or down.
3. Push upward in the area of the front to center rail joint. Push rails up by hand as far as possible.
4. With the balance link adjusting bolts loosened, allow the balance link to seek proper position.
5. Tighten bolts while rail is held in position.
