1. Operate the top using the "ROOF" switch until it is in the position shown above. The top, 5th bow and Tonneau cover should be fully raised.
2. A nut is welded to the top of the latch fining. On a number of cars there is also an extra loose nut. Where fitted, this nut must be removed. See Figure 10.A.
3. Fit the chafing guard on the latch lining. Make sure that the grooves in the guard fit on the edges of the latch bracket. See Figure 1O.B.
