marks and secure bolts. The trunk lid should be aligned to 4 mm (0.160 in.) gap to the quarter panels and flush across the top surfaces along quarter panels.
(4)Support trunk lid and remove prop-rod cylin-
ders.

(1)Raise and support trunk lid in the full up posi-
tion.
(2)Remove pivot bolts holding trunk lid hinge to trunk opening side panel.
(3)Mark all bolt and hinge attachment locations with a grease pencil to provide reference marks for installation. When installing hinge, align all marks and secure bolts. The trunk lid should be aligned to 4 mm (.160 in.) gap to the quarter panels and flush across the top surfaces along quarters.

When a convertible top component is aligned to proper fit and finish specifications, weatherstrips and seals will not always make proper contact. In these cases, the use of shims, spacers, caulking putty and foam adhesive backed tape will be required to gain proper seal compression. Align weatherstrip and seal channels or retainers so the contact surfaces are smooth and make full contact with mating surfaces. A paper strip, equal in size to a dollar bill, should be able to be drawn through the contact surfaces without tearing the paper. A reasonable amount of effort should be required to pull the paper through.
Bolt on body panels should be aligned to the weld on body components. The door should be aligned to the quarter panel, rocker panel and A-pillar. The gaps between panels should be as equal as possible. When the door is fitted properly, the door glass can be aligned to roof rail and A-pillar weatherstrips. After verifying the door and door glass alignment, the quarter glass can be aligned to the door glass and rear roof rail.
GLASS UP-STOP
The door glass up-stop bumper can be adjusted to raise or lower the glass in the full up position.
(1)Remove door trim panel and water shield.
(2)Loosen up-stop bolt.

(5)Tighten bolts.
(1)Disengage top latches and raise top halfway.
(2)Loosen set screw locking latch hook in position.
(2)Rotate latch hook in or out to adjust latching
effort and roof header weatherstrip compression.
(3) Verify latching effort and tighten set screws.
(1)Disengage top latches and raise top halfway.
(2)Verify that door glass is all the way up and properly aligned.

(4)Align roller bracket to reduce quarter belt weatherstrip contact when top is raised and proper sash weatherstrip compression against the door glass.
(5)Tighten bolts to hold roller to quarter panel and verify top operation and weatherstrip sealing.
TOP STACK DOWN-STOP
Adjust down-stop in or out to set top stack down position height.
CAUTION: Avoid setting top stack position too low, top cover can be pinched and cut between wheelhouse and fourth bow.
Seal base of down-stop with silicone after adjusting to prevent water leaks.
TOP STACK UP-STOP
Adjust up-stop in or out to change the contact with the rear rail. This will effect the fore/aft position of the No. 1 bow.
Adjust the fourth roof bow slat to reduce wrinkles and bagging around rear window and sail panels.
(1)Verify convertible top is up and latched.
(2)Loosen bolts holding the slat to the fourth roof
bow.
(3)Slide the bow up or down as necessary and tighten bolts.
Adjust rear tensioner plate by loosening screws, positioning plate forward or backward, and tightening screws. Tension can be adjusted on the back of the top cover by varying contact.
