Repair instructions regarding abrasion on the headlining

Complaint

On the inner C-pillar trim of the convertible cover, traces of wear can be seen on opening and closing the convertible top.
See Fig. 1.

Cause

With an unfavourable conflict of tolerances, the inner C-pillar trim of the convertible cover can scuff on the back expander rivet of the side trim.

Repair instruction

Check whether the back expander rivet of the side trim can scuff at the rear on the C-pillar trim.
If necessary, shorten the expander rivet and remove sharp edges.

Note

This fault pattern only occurs very rarely in individual cases. It is not necessary to perform any preventive measure.

Series solution

On vehicles with date of manufacture after 02.03.2005, a modified expander rivet has been fitted.
