Roof Latches wont CLICK

Postby 99MXV » Sat Jan 06, 2007 2:04 pm

Hi..

My cousin got her car... SHINY

Anyways the only issue I can find is the roof latches wont CLICK.. and dont seem firm to me.. they lock over, but feel like they might pop back at anytime. I tried adjusting them via the worm screw setup... but no luck.

Any ideas

Cheers and thanks

Wayne

I noticed on my latches just the other day there is an adjuster on them. When opened if yoou look in them there is a hex bolt with a bit of plastic over it, i just clicked back the plastic and did the bolt up by hand, and it doesn't take much to make it alot tighter, not even one turn. Its kinda hard to describe but if you have a close look you should see it. I assume the NB should be the same as the NA...?

It's not a latch tension problem which is what those adjusters are for. His problem (well one of them anyway :mrgreen: ) is latch cover lock wear.
