Adjusting Convertible Top




Adjusting Electric Convertible Top




1. To operate the convertible top, the ignition key must be turned to the radio position. When opening and closing the top, the indicator lamp must come on until the opening or closing operation is completed. The rocker switch must be kept pressed throughout the entire operation.




2. Adjust the centering pegs so that they come up against the rear edge of the guide sleeves and engage them centrally.




3. To adjust the microswitches, the convertible top must be at a distance of 30 + 3 mm from the top edge of the windshield frame. The microswitches are adjusted so that, at this distance, they touch the guide sleeves.




4. To adjust the locking motors, loosen the fastening screws, set the convertible top flush with the top edge of the windshield frame and re-tighten fastening screws.




5. The forward-movement and height adjustment can be made at the bearing blocks of the reverse transfer levers by means of minor corrections so that the guide pegs latch into the windshield frame exactly.




6. The dimension at the screwing point - push-rod guide lever to lever of convertible-top frame - must be identical on left and right.




7. If necessary, loosen the fastening screws of the swivel drives and set the gap on both sides to the same dimension.




8. The upper microswitch is adjusted with the convertible top closed. The gap between the adjusting screw and the microswitch must be 3 mm.







9. The lower microswitch is adjusted with the convertible top open. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the microswitch switches off when the top engages the holding pegs.
