Corvette V8-6.2L (2008)
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 14 Nm (10 lb ft).
Correction #3
Reposition the tonneau fore/aft to open up the clearance of the tonneau to the #5 bow:
Important
Take care to not adjust the gaps too narrow. This may cause panel-to-panel contact as the deck lid or tonneau are opened.
1. Check the fore/aft gaps of the tonneau to the quarter panel at the front and the deck lid at the rear, as well as the gap of the deck lid to the fascia.
2. If the panels are positioned forward, moving the panels rearward will open up the clearance of the tonneau to the #5 bow.
Correction #4
Shorten the #4 bow to side rail link tension strap to increase tension on the #5 bow, providing clearance to the tonneau:
Note
For illustration purposes, the above and following graphic show the folding top in closed position with the top cover and headliner removed.
Tip
Shown in a top view above, the tension strap is riveted to the side rail link on one end (1) and secured to the underside of the #4 bow by a screw,
on the other end (2).
1. Position the folding top with the #1 bow and the #5 bow up.
2. Reposition the headliner as necessary for access. Remove the underside screw (at arrow above) retaining the tension strap to the #4 bow.
3. Shortening the strap can be achieved by making a new screw hole in the strap located 6.35 mm (0.25 in) from the original hole, in the direction of
the opposite end still attached.
4. Reinstall the strap to the #4 bow installing the retaining screw through the new hole.
