Title: Hardtop
Post by: garpat32 on February 7, 2020, 17:17
Hello, I know it's nowt important, but, the clips/clasps? On the rear inside part of the roof pop open, they don't seem to click home like the ones on the top of the screen.

Is there some adjustment on them? Or a knack of getting them to stay tightly closed?

Cheers

There is some adjustment, it's hard to explain how to do it, but you unclip the metal bit at the bottom of the clasp, then the hex shaped rod spins round to add or remove tension.

Unfortunately this might not fix it, over time these side clasps on the hardtop wear out and/or stretch, and many of us including myself have taken to using a zip tie around both clasps to hold it down. I'll see if I can dig out the thread I posted.
