Important: When the top is in the up position, the rear
folding top latches (1) grasp the strikers (2). This ensures that the
front and the rear folding top panels are latched together. After making adjustments
to the front or the rear folding top panels, you need to ensure that the rear folding
top latches grasp the strikers. If the latches are not able to grasp the strikers,
or if the front and the rear folding top panels are not being pulled together with
sufficient force, adjust the strikers following the procedure below.
- Open
the folding top as shown in the illustration. Dimension (A) is 400 mm
(15.75 in) from the windshield header to the leading edge of the folding top

- Place a protective covering over the interior of the vehicle and the adjacent
body panels.
- Loosen
the striker bolt (1).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Adjust the striker (3) as necessary.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 9 N·m (80 lb in).

latches (1) grasp the striker (2).
