Title: soft top spring bolt lock
Post by: lex280 on August 09, 2015, 15:37:23

hi,

can anyone tell me where i can find the spring bolt lock (left and right)? as they are missing it is really a hell of a job to get the roof out every time.

thanks!

Not sure what you are talking about.  Where are these spring locks located on l & R?

Maybe a photo pointing out where you are missing the item?

I think he is referring to the rear bow locking mechanism on a 230 frame.
I would just secure a strap to the rear bow under one of the screws and use this to pull the
frame up.

i did some research and looks like the spring bolt locks for the soft top are not fitting my soft top frame.
As i used the spring bolt lock of friend his car, i noticed it doesn't fit.
So my new question is:
Are there many different soft top mechanisms on the pagoda series?
Any post about this on the forum?
or where can i find the serial number on the soft top frame?

thanks!

Lex,
Have a look in the Technical Manual here, on site,there is lots of information
there, look up soft top in the Manual.

Hope this helps
