REFERENCE BODY NUMBER 035
DATE 09-26-86
MODEL MA70J
When re-installing the roof panel on 1986 1/2 Supras equipped with the Sport Roof option, follow the procedures listed on pages 44-46 of the owner's manual.. In addition, the following precautions should be observed:

"A" Pillar:




^ The A pillar mouldings may be too high on some vehicles, causing difficulty in re-installing the roof panel. Gently tap the moulding down until only the soft rubber end extends past the A pillar (see Fig. 1). This will allow the roof panel to fit properly. Do Not attempt to align the roof panel by forcing the securing bolts.
^ Installation of the roof panel can only be accomplished with the vehicle parked on LEVEL ground.
