joey b Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Can someone please go take a look and see how the cables route for the top. I have the side cable running in the front and out the hole in the back. It then appears as if the rear cable enters in a seam and exits out of a hole at the bottom. If someone can confirm this it would be great so I can get this done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 it sounds correct based on your despcription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 but as I install it doesn't seem correct and I'm really not too eager to tear this brand new top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 still seams correct. the cable run inside the seaming of the edges of the top... and they do have a large amount of tension... The horizontal cables have a spring at the rear end to provide some slack... but maybe i should ask where did you get the top? how much or how complete is it? cables new or existing?

joey b Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I got a full top from ebay minus the curtain. The cables I picked up from an online vendor. There is a spot where there is not a whole but rather where 2 different piees of fabric meet resulting in a slit. Is that where the rear cable enters. The side cable obviously runs into the front hole and the rear cable seems to exit from the hole at the rear(enter from front of car) but where the side cable exits and where the rear cable enters is where I am perplexed.

Crazy K Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm reading and re-reading what you wrote... hmm so you think there are slots/cuts missing? can you post a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm confused. they appear correct in the pics. they are run exacly like mine are. when the top in fully lais down there should be a minimum of stress on the material. so me saying they appear correct is what you are asking for?

joey b Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 please do scan the FSMs. I need to have this done by mid-next week. What do you suppose the flaps are for that I am holding back in the final pic and are visible in the second pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They help prevent wearing of the outer layer and the cable pass-through of the top so that you don;t see visible wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
