77-420 Adjustment Of Coupe Roof

Special Tool:

A. Adjustment of gap between coupe roof and windshield trim strip
1 Check gap a: 5 - 6 mm with special tool 129 589 03 21 00.

NOTE: Check gap at several points.

Dimension a 5-6 mm
b Windshield
c Trim strip
d Seal
e Coupe roof

Attention: The gap should not be less than 5 mm, because otherwise the closing forces for the catches at the front would be too high. If the locking and release operations are negatively effected by too high closing forces, spacers can be installed below the locking pins. A rain test must then be performed. If a replacement coupe roof is installed, the following work must be performed after adjustment.
- Adjust crank windows on left and right (72-195).
- Adjust top (77-303).







Adjustment
2 Unlock coupe roof, lift at front and support (e.g. with rubber hammer).







3 Mark position of locking pins with felt tip pen.
4 Loosen screws and adjust gap by moving locking pin toward rear (to decrease gap) or toward front (to increase gap).







5 Adjust locking pins by moving parallel to side so that there is no gap between the covering on the front pillars and coupe roof at left and right sides.
6 Tighten screws.
7 Lock coupe roof with top switch.

NOTE: Check opening and locking operations several times.

10 Loosen screws for mounting pin for coupe roof on left and right on center pillars and remove spacers (push covering slightly to side).







11 Mark position of locking pins with felt tip pen.
12 Loosen screws and adjust locking pins so that they fit into the lock receptacles without hitting in the center (width of vehicle) and rear areas (longitudinal vehicle direction).







13 Tighten screws.







14 Mark position of catches at rear with felt tip pen.
15 Loosen nuts (arrows) and adjust catches downward or upward so that a gap of 6.5 mm is present when the coupe roof is locked.

Note: If the proper gap dimension cannot be adjusted with the catches, spacers can be installed or removed on the locking pins.
