HARD-TOP

Post Thu Apr 07, 2005 10:31 am

I was just wondering how you secure hard-tops down. So far i've only been used the locking leavers at the front, which is ok for City driving, but when i hit the Motor-way i can see the back starting to lift up because it's not secured down. I went to my local dealers and bough a funny looking key thing that they said is for locking the hard-top down, but i havent actaully used it yet. Any help will be much appreciated

hi mate.

its criminal not to lock down the hardtop!

so easy to steal!

The tool works by turing the nut....there is also an 11mil nut located above this larger nut.

Stick the hardtop on as usual.
use the tool to lower the hardtop down at the back so its in place. Then lock it with an 11mil spanner.

simple

Hi guys,
on my hard top you only have to turn
it half a turn, and it is fitted! be careful not to
over tighten it as this can cause problems...

Best Regards Paul
