I have been told on this forum that the cables that stop the top from banging down usually break. Mine have for awhile now and finally ready to fix them. I have searched this forum but can not find any instructions or pics on this. If someone can guide me in the right direction before I accidentally tear the top I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Thanks for the response and looks like an excellent thread with nice pics. Will try it next weekend.

If you follow that thread you should be able to fix your cable tops without having to replace them. I replaced mine last year when i got the car and one of them snapped again a few weeks ago.
I don't have any pictures on how i fixed it. but i can tell you what i did.

first thing i did was remove the black plastic cover/clip that the cable sits in. I then passed the cable through the hole on the metal bar. I took a thick sized bolt drilled a hole through it, i had one nut on top of the hole and one underneath i passed the wire through the hole and tightened the nuts nice and tight.

The top works perfectly and better then ever.
