Muffy: The part number is 986 561 191 02, and it's called a "tension rope", although it is made of steel wire. There is a fair amount of tension on these cables as they are used to put tension on the tensioning bow (the rearmost semi-oval metal hoop at the base of the convertible top) so as to brace the canvas top and to press the rubber seal against the clamshell. You can adjust the amount of tension on the tensioning bow by turning the hex-head bolt at the lower end ( near where the metal ball cup presses on and off). Turning the bolt will in turn raise or lower the metal ball that the cup presses on to, thereby adjusting the tension. Regards, Maurice. Thanks for part number and description Maurice. The tension rope pictured has a hexagonal end to it, where the cable enters. I think this is what you may be talking about adjusting. This section is crimped and can not be adjusted. The other end which is broken has the same crimped end as pictured. The black tube (pic1) is an insert that goes over the cable. There may be different versions? My car is RHD if that makes any difference Regards and thanks again Helen

Part No. Required Hi all Does anyone know the part number for this item. There are 2 of these which hold the convertable top and need to be removed to gain access to the engine compartment. It is made of steel cable and am curious as to why and how this has broken. Is there any tension on this cable? Many thanks
