soft top catch

Postby theelanman » Mon 08.07.2013, 21:01

One of my roof catches has come loose.....well the split pin hinge has slid sideways and one side of the hinge doesn't hinge.....
What's the easiest way to get it back over.......any experience is good.....
Just trying to get it working properly with minimal tools as away from home.....don't want to take the header off if I can help it

One of mine did that - IIRC just three or four Allen head bolts inside the hinge remove it from the header rail - everything else stays intact. Line everything up and tap pin back in with a small hammer....
