2001-03 Eclipse Spyder convertible
PROCEDURE
If the outside temperature is below 80 degrees F, do this procedure inside where the ambient temperature should be above 75 degrees F.
If the outside temperature is above 80 degrees F, perform this entire reattachment procedure outside.
1.
If the outside temperature is above 80 degrees F, park the car outside, with the top closed, the rear glass facing into the sun. Allow the car's top to
warm up to the outside ambient temperature for approximately 1 hour.
2.
Raise the top approximately 1/3 of the way open, and again allow the top to warm up in the open for approximately 1/2 hour.
NOTE:
Steps 1 and 2 will cause the top and headliner material to soften and expand, making it more pliable.
3.
With the top still in the 1/3 open position, get into the rear seat of the vehicle and carefully reattach the headliner Velcro securely to the Velcro on
the rear glass. Keeping the top 1/3 open, allow the top to remain outside in the sun for an additional 1/2 hour, to continue to soften the top
material.
