Convertible top mysteries
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2015 12:32 pm
I'm putting a new top on my Fiat spider. I have instructions, but since I have no old installation to reference, some of it doesn't make sense. Here is what it says
First I don't know what "pins" it is referring to in step 14. I also have these little brackets that came from the top somewhere that I don't know what to do with. (I took a picture but I don't know how to post it here.) Is there any kind of exploded view that shows how the top parts go together?• Step Fourteen: Install the side wires on the pins on the outside edge of the front bow, then pull the wires tight while you align the top onto the frame.
• Step Fifteen: Pulling the seam to the edge of the front bow, locate the screw holes with your punch. Set it up so the seam is on the down side of the frame; that way the top material goes down when the top is closed, instead of standing up like my hair when it's short!
