Condition #1
Some customers may comment that when opening/closing the folding top, the tonneau protector strip (1) is hitting the #5 bow seal or that the tonneau lid
is hitting the #5 bow pressure link (2).
Cause #1
This condition may be caused by improper alignment of the folding top mechanism and/or tonneau lid.
Correction #1
Adjust/roll the folding top forward by adjusting the lower B-pillar stop:
Important
BEFORE making this adjustment, check the #1 bow guide pin alignment to the header receivers. Rolling the top forward will bring the
pins forward relative to the receivers. ONLY perform this adjustment if the guide pin alignment will allow the resulting movement.
