16.4. MOUNTING THE POPPERS

Now that the soft-top is First installed on the car, you can also zip in the doors. The doors are different, the soft-top is provided with a left and right door. These can be distinguished by looking at the window which is sewed to the door in an imbricate way.
Attaching the push-buttons. Here we assume that you have a tonneau cover and that the push-buttons have already been placed on the body.
1. Stick a piece of duct tape on the inside of the door and then =firmly press the door on the push-button on the body. Then this will leave a print on the duct tape, so you have a proper marking for placing the push-buttons (see figure 1).
2. Make holes at the indicated locations and attach the push-button there (4 push-buttons per door).
3. Now 2 so-called Tenax push-buttons should be placed on both sides of the soft-top. To do this, please pinch through the flap of the soft-top at the front using a piercer and through the door on the aluminium triangle. The Tenax is placed approximately 25 mm above the front push-button of the door (see figure 2). Also take care you do not place the Tenax too close to the zipper.
4. Drill a hole of 4 millimetres in the triangle of the window on the print of the piercer. Then tap thread M5x1 in this hole. Screw the supplied Tenax button head bolt M5 in here.
5. A Tenax button should also be placed on the flap at the back of the soft-top. Please consider the zipper and the push-button for the purpose of the tonneau cover and soft-top door (see figure 3). Mark off the hole and drill it using a millimetre drill. No thread needs to be tapped for attaching the Tenax, and the Tenax button head bolt can be attached by placing a ring and locknut at the inside of the body.
6. Now attach the Tenax to both flaps. This enables you to widen the hole in the soft-top. This can be done using a hole cutter or hollow pipe with diameter of 8 millimetres. The Tenax consists of 2 parts which can be screwed together using the supplied small wrench.
