and 19 with the cross-rod towards the rear.
(If fitted)
Lay the tonneau cover over the cockpit, engage the rear edge retainer with the
slotted plates on the tonneau panel, and secure to each quarter panel with the
fasteners.
Extend the tonneau cover forward and attach the front of the cover to the
fasteners on the fascia panel top.
Usage. The centre zip allows the cover to be folded down to give access to the
driving seat or to both seats. Fold the cover down behind the seat, release the
press stud (arrowed), or the zip on the early cars, and secure it with the fasteners
on the flap to the heelboard.
Removing. Reverse the fitting procedure.
Hard top Fitting.
Remove the hood.
(If fitted)
Fit the hard top side brackets into the support sockets and secure with the bolts
and spring washers.
Position the hard top on the car, engaging the rear securing plates with the
slotted anchor plates on the tonneau panel (inset, Fig. 20), ensuring that the
sealing rubber does not foul the slots.
Line up the hard top drip moulding with the rear wing top beading. Push the
hard top forward and engage the toggle catch tongues in the sockets on the
windscreen frame.
Fit the bolts into the side fixing brackets; screw in but do not tighten. Ensure
that the front sealing rubber is correctly positioned forward of the windscreen
frame. Adjust the toggle catches to give adequate tension when fastened (the
securing bolt slots allow movement), tighten the securing bolts, fasten the catches
and lock them with the securing clips (inset, Fig. 21).
