Important: When the top is in the up position, the rear folding top latches (1) grasp the strikers (2). This ensures that the front and the rear folding top panels are latched together. After making adjustments to the front or the rear folding top panels, you need to ensure that the rear folding top latches grasp the strikers. If the latches are not able to grasp the strikers, or if the front and the rear folding top panels are not being pulled together with sufficient force, adjust the strikers following the procedure below.

1. Open the folding top as shown in the illustration. Dimension (A) is 400 mm (15.75 in) from the windshield header to the leading edge of the folding top panel.
2. Place a protective covering over the interior of the vehicle and the adjacent body panels.



3. Loosen the striker bolt (1).

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
