15
Undo the anti-ballooning strips from the second and third bows. They are held in place with reusable tacky glue.
16
The anti-ballooning strips on cars that have these wear marks need to be wrapped around the 2nd and 3rd bows tighter. The cloth anti-ballooning
strip passes behind the bow and wraps around the bottom and up the front of the bow. Tension the strips enough to prevent the outer roof from
sagging between the bows and rewrap the cloth around the second and third bows respectively.
Remove the anti-ballooning strip from the bow. Pull it down and wrap it around the bottom of the bow so that approximately 8 mm of cloth is
extending past the forward edge of the bow toward the front of the car. Wrap this cloth around the front of the bow. Follow the mans made above
for correct centering.
17
Open the soft top half way and refit the headlining to the third and second bows.
18
Lower the soft top so that only the tonneau cover is open and refit the headlining to the first bow. Check that the cloth in the area of the second
bow is now folding toward the center of the car on both sides.
19
Fit the two chafing guards 5110457 to the tonneau cover as shown in the illustration.
20
Vacuum the inside of the car to remove any cuttings, etc. that may be present.
21
Close the soft top.
