Hi All,

 

I've got an issue with the roof not going down fully, so the clamshell sits approx 1" high in normal operation. If you stop it 3/4 of the way down, and push down on the roof frame the continue putting the roof down it will pull down with the clamshell flush. All of the pushrods etc are adjusted up as per specs, and everything appears to be straight and unbent, but it appears that the roof isn't pulling down properly.

 

While checking the tensioning bands within the roof, the ones that are attached to the B pillars are both disconnected:

However, I can't figure out where they were attached to within the hood. Does anyone have any pointers? Or other things to check that would prevent the top from tensioning down fully? Are there any front to back tensioning elastics that pull the top down tight when it's down?


Thanks!

 

Jon
