FOLDING TOP TRIM
All convertible top trim cover assemblies incor-
porate a spring- loaded top material hold- down cable
along the right and left side roof rails. The cables
are installed through a retaining pocket in the top
material and are fastened at the front and rear
side rails by attaching screws. The cables are
designed to hold the top material tight against the
side roof rail stay pads, thus minimizing air
leakage between the top material and the stay pads.
On certain styles the back curtain assemblies in-
corporate a hard, curved glass back window. This
back window is dielectrically bonded to the vinyl
back curtain material and is not serviced as a
separate item. On other styles, the back curtain
incorporates a pliable plastic window.
REMOVAL OF FOLDING TOP AND
BACK CURTAIN TRIM ASSEMBLY
1. Place protective covers on all exposed panels
