Condition

Wind Deflector, Locking Pins Break

Convertible top wind deflector locking pins break.

Technical Background

The handle of the wind deflector locking pin, which fits into the rear trim panel, may crack and/or break. The wind deflector cannot be securely installed
in the vehicle if this condition occurs.

Production Solution

The metal sleeve inside the locking pin was extended and the length of the handle attachment screw was increased. This change provides greater
durability/reinforcement of the handle to pin attachment.

Service

Locking pin assembly (-1-) and fasteners (-2-), as shown.

Note:

Locking pin kit includes new (4) fasteners that must be used during repair.

^

Install new locking pins and fasteners on wind deflector. See Repair Manual, Body Exterior, Group 66 - Exterior equipment, "Wind deflector"
for procedure.

Tighten new (4) fasteners to 1.5 N.m (13 lb.in).
