    Cabrio top question

    Where do the wires hook to on the 1/4 rail? I know they get crimped in up front by the pillar but i can't figure out where to hook to it here on the back....

    HELP QUICK!!! i'm trying to get this install done tonight.

    Thanks







    The only thing i can think of is that it gets one of the rivets that holds the 1/4 weather seal frame on.... but not sure.

    There is a spring that attaches there. 1 end loops through that hole on the cable, the other around the anchor on the pillar. If you don't have the springs in, the cable won't get any tension and your top edges will flap around when you drive and leak like a mother. Buy new ones from the dealer as used ones are always stretched. They're like $3 apiece
