Retractable Hardtop - Downstop Interference
NO.: TSB-95-42A-005
DATE: November, 1995
MODEL: 1995 Spyder
SUBJECT:
RETRACTABLE HARDTOP DOWNSTOP INTERFERENCE
PURPOSE
Some 1995 Spyders may have a piece of specially molded carpeting covering the retractable hardtop downstop. This carpeting interferes with the
retractable hardtop when it is retracted into the trunk. The carpeting may crease the retractable hardtop weatherstrip moulding causing a potential water
leak inside the vehicle.
This bulletin instructs the technician to remove the carpeting to prevent potential moulding damage.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Any Spyders with carpeting that covers the retractable hardtop downstop.

4.
Reposition the object-in-trunk sensor to its correct location.
5.
Close the hard tonneau.
6.
Cycle the hardtop twice on a flat level surface.
7.
