–  Insert headliner in rear window channel. Start in the centre and work upwards and outwards to the sides. It is recommended to engage the convertible roof headliner in the rear window channel using a plastic wedge and a plastic hammer as shown in the diagram.   Note Ensure that both markings on the headliner (top and bottom) align with the notches on the rear window channel. Make sure that the headliner is spread equally along the window channel.

–  Before closing the individual zip fasteners, align the marking on the padding with the marking on the convertible roof cover.

–  Close the zip fastener from the middle using the locking pliers -VAS 6138-.

–  Secure the ends of the zip fastener with a stapler -VAS 6148- (3 to 5 mm from end of zip fastener). When doing this, ensure that the staples are always properly pressed together.
