Summary
Some vehicles may exhibit the driver and/or passenger side tension band(s) (A) hanging down from the convertible top. Upon inspection, the plastic plate (A) of tension band is broken where it is riveted to the header panel (B). This is caused by insufficient strength of the plastic plate. To correct this issue, the configuration of the tension band will be changed to increase the strength. NOTE: The header panel is shown with the fabric top removed.
