CONVERTIBLE TOP
DESCRIPTION
The Convertible Top on the Crossfire Roadster is fairly typical of convertible roofs. It is power operated, but requires
the driver to manually latch and unlatch the top from the windshield. One switch on the console operates the roof.
To lower the roof, release the roof latches with the "D" ring handle, push the "D" ring up and raise the top away from
the windshield. Press and hold the power top switch to the open position. If the windows are up, they will roll down
before the roof starts to move. The roof will then fold itself back into a storage compartment behind the seats.
The motion of the roof and the positioning of its different parts is completely determined by the geometry of the roof
structure. A scissors-like linkage is formed by a set of metal arms and brackets that are linked together by pins. The
linkage folds down into itself when the roof is open, and expands to form the structure of the roof when the roof is
closed.
The rear window is glass and is an integral part of the top. The window is equipped with a defroster grid. If for any
reason the rear window should need to be replaced, the soft top must be replaced. The window is not serviced
separately from the soft top.
