Hi guys,

 

I have an issue with my cab top that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

 

When my cab top is fully closed, the fit on the left side (driver's side) is completely snug - the seal, windshield frame and cab top are all tight and in alignment. However, on the right there, there is a small gap between the seal and the windshield frame. Please see pictures.

 

I've downloaded a PDF called 968 Cabriolet Top (from this site I believe), though the actual front page says "944 S2 Sealing Body Cabriolet". I presume the same mechanism is used on both the 944 S2 and 968. There appear to be a few sections with instructions on how to make adjustments to the top, but I don't seem to be finding what I'm looking for. Specifically this:

 

Is it possible to adjust the *forward* action for each side independently to potentially fix my problem? I basically need the right side of the top to align better with the frame when fully closed (just like the left side), but I'm not sure of how to achieve this.

 

Any help would me much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

The problem could be motor adjustment or structural warp.  If previous owners have just locked down the driver's side instead of the passenger side too, then the cab top will gradually warp.  On the other hand there are two cab top motors which are synchronised at the centre of the rear window and also have adjustment inside the rear side trim.  The instructions (originally from Clarke's garage I think) do suggest repeated trial and error on this adjustment.  Good luck, I shall be going through the same effort in a couple of weeks.....

Really appreciate the response. If you manage to 'fix' your probem please let me know. If you happen to take a few pics during the process, that would no go amiss

 

Thanks again!

Hi Milton, did you sort you cab top?

 

I managed to get my motors functioning okay, but am not sure if that's the help you need.

 

Anyway, see https://www.968forums.com/topic/7163-wha...k/page-153

 

Cheers

Before doing major surgery, check the latches themselves. I had to tighten one down and it sealed the top to the windshield header great.
