Closing the deck
1. Loop the center of the rope through the
pin on the link twice so that it does not
loosen.
NOTE
Before closing the deck, two small
ropes need to be installed and tied into
the trunk so that the deck does not pop
up while driving, and so that the deck
can be raised for servicing by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
2. Route one end of the rope to the inside
of the vehicle passing it through the
gap in the trim. Route the other end to
the outside of the vehicle passing it
through the links.
