Number 197
Corp. Ref. No. 011518
Date Dec. 1990
SUBJECT: SOFT TOP DIFFICULT TO LATCH IN REAR
MODELS AFFECTED: 1987-1990 ALLANTES
Some 1987-1990 Allantes built before 1990 VIN breakpoints LU100450 (hard top) and LU127112 (soft top only) may experience a condition of the soft top difficult to latch in the rear. To repair this condition use the following service procedure:
1. Verify soft top hook contacts the pull down unit jaws correctly. Refer to Service bulletin T-90-43, Group 10. Adjust as required.
2. If latching effort is still excessive after proper hook adjustment, install a revised pull down unit, P/N 3526879. The revised pull down has 5 mm of additional upward travel that will engage the hook into the pull down unit jaws sooner when latching the rear bow. Refer to the appropriate Service Information Manual, Section 10-9, for installation instructions.
