Downstop Adjustment Procedure
- Turn pump bypass valve to open position (full clockwise).
- Lower folding top by hand.
- Lay straightedge level across rear edge of side rail garnish moldings with straightedge level extending to left and right edges of vehicle.
- Reposition plastic splash shield to allow access to downstop bolts/screws.
- Loosen downstop bolts/screws.
- Adjust octagonal downstop cams so that folding top is level from left to right along straightedge level and allows sufficient clearance for boot cover to be installed
- Remove straightedge level.
- Turn pump bypass valve to closed position (full counter-clockwise).
- Perform upstop adjustment if necessary as outlined in the procedure below, otherwise raise top (automatically).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the downstop bolts/screws to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).
Upstop Adjustment Procedure

- Lower folding top by hand.
- Turn upstops all the way in (clockwise).
