Minimizing Top Fabric Wear
Application:
1986-93 900 Convertible Models
When the car is driven with the top down, a certain amount of wear may occur in the top fabric. (See Figure 1 for an indication of where this wear may
occur.) This is because the eccentric screws for adjusting the parking position of the top when it is raised (the position in which it stops before the
latching hooks are hooked into place) come into contact with the top fabric.
In order to help prevent wear in the top fabric from occurring, on cars VIN M7018385 and later, the eccentric screws are repositioned lower down at the
top mechanism retaining brackets (Figure 3-A). You will find it necessary to install the spacers described (Figure 3-A) even if the eccentric screws have
been properly adjusted in order to minimize wear and insure optimum top mechanism clearance. This bulletin combines updated original PSI information
and the Oct. 91 Warranty Policies & Procedures Manual update to Service Directive status.
