Convertible Top Assembly

Convertible Top Assembly Replacement

NOTE:
- Have an assistant help you remove the convertible top assembly.
- Take care not to scratch the top cloth and body.
- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- If the top does not move with the convertible top switch, disconnect the emergency connector near the passenger's kick panel, and move the top by hand.

1. Remove both rear tray side trims.
2. Remove the top in the numbered sequence.







3. Install the convertible top in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly.
- Check operation of the top.
- Check that each top lock handle works smoothly. If necessary, adjust the hook position.
- Check that each door glass contacts the weatherstrips evenly.
- Check for water leaks.
- Test-drive and check for wind noise and rattles.
