21. Using previously marked lines (end of trim
sticks) and bolt hole locations in top material as
a locating reference, tack top material to rear
and rear quarter trim sticks.
22. Install top material into body. Make sure
rear and rear quarter trim stick attaching bolts
are driven in completely to represent finished
condition.
23. Check fit of top material. Rear quarter
trim sticks may be adjusted downward to remove
minor wrinkles in top material in rear quarter
area.

make necessary adjustments to top material by
repositioning rear quarter trim sticks or by re-
tacking top material to rear or rear quarter trim
sticks.
25. After desired fit of top material has been
obtained, remove trim sticks with attached top
material from top compartment well. Back cur-
tain should extend 1/2 inch below trim sticks,
Fig. 16-119.
26. Apply convertible top sealer (nitrile) onto
all trimmed edges, around each tack head and
around each trim stick attaching bolt hole, A-A
in Fig. 16-113.
CAUTION: All painted surfaces adjacent to
belt finishing molding should be adequately
covered to prevent possible sealer damage.

91. Hydro-Lectric System
Motor and Pump Assembly
The 6267 and 6367 convertible coupe styles
incorporate a high pressure hydro-lectric system
to raise and lower the folding top. After the top
has been unlatched and raised above the wind-
shield by hand, it can be lowered or raised by
actuating a power control switch located on the
lower part of the instrument panel to the left of
the steering column. Hydraulic fluid from an
electrically driven pump, located behind the back
seat back rest, is forced through tubing to double-
acting, piston-type cylinders located at each rear
quarter section of the car. Pressurized fluid
entering the top of the hydraulic lift cylinders
forces the pistons down, thus lowering the top.
Pressurized fluid entering the bottom of the hy-
draulic lift cylinders forces the pistons upward,
thus raising the top.
The hydro-lectric unit consists of a 12-volt
reversible type motor, a rotor-type pump, two
hydraulic lift cylinders, and an upper and lower
hydraulic hose assembly. The unit is installed
in the body directly behind rear seat back.
