els), the cables must be adjusted. With an assistant
holding a tape measure at one location, remove one
cable attaching screw. While holding the top bow in
the measured position, turn the upper end of the ca-
ble in the proper direction until the eye of the cable
is in line with the screw hole. Install the screw. Re-
peat the procedure, if required, on the opposite cable.
FRONT TOP BOW
ADJUSTMENT (AR-AV MODELS)
If the top material at the front bow appears to hang
down too low and interferes with the top edge of the
door glass when the door is closed, adjust the number
one top bow at the adjusting plate attached to the
outer ends of the top bow (Fig. 178). This permits the
bow to be moved up or down, as required.
If the roof side rails are exposed below the top ma-
terial, che bow can be lowered. To adjust the bow,
loosen the screw at each end and move the bow up or
down, as required.
REMOVING WRINKLES IN THE BACKLIGHT
Cable adjustment may cause wrinkles in the back-
light area. To correct this condition, it will be neces-
sary to remove the mouldings and retainers and re-
locate the backlight and quarter trim.
Before removing the moulding screws, place a strip
of masking tape on the deck, directly behind the
mouldings. Mark the screw locations on the tape to
aid in reassembly.
Remove the moulding screws, moulding, retainer
screws and retainer. Stretch the backlight and quar-
ter trim to remove the wrinkles. Trim
off
excess back-
light and quarter trim material that extends beyond
the retainer. Install the retainers and mouldings.

(Fig. 179) and hold it firmly against the black and red
wire terminal on the control switch. The top (if raised)
should start to lower. Repeat this test with a green
wire. The top (in the lowered position) should start
to raise. If the top operates during these tests, but
fails to operate when the control switch lever is
moved to right or left, the switch is at fault and
should be replaced. If the top fails to operate during
these tests, follow the procedure outlined for "Ad-
justing the Top," "Inspecting the Fluid Level in the
Reservoir and Testing the Wires between the Control
Switch and the Pump Motor."
TESTING WIRES BETWEEN CONTROL
SWITCH AND PUMP MOTOR
This test can be made from the luggage compart-
ment. Test the pump motor ground wire (black wire
between the pump motor and ground) to make certain
it has a good, clean ground connection. Hook one
