HARD TOP
(where fitted)
The hard top is fitted with a heated
rear window and should be used in-
stead of the hood during the winter.
USEFUL TIPS
Before fitting the hard top, fold the
hood into its housing properly and an-
chor the hood housing cover to its
safety devices.
Remove the seat belts from the slots
in the seat backs and tip the seat backs
forward.
Position and remove the hard top
with the side windows fully lowered
or the doors open. Get another per-
son to help you to support the hard
top on the right and left.
If repairs or maintenance are neces-
sary, take the car to a Fiat Dealer-
ship.

handles on the windscreen transom
are turned inwards.
2) Remove the side inner panels A-
fig. 62 from the hard top covering by
unscrewing the fixing screws.
3) Lift the hard top and move it over
the car.
4) Lower the hard top, and fit pins A-

moved).
5) Rest the front of the hard top on
the windscreen transom.
6) Insert hooks C in holes D and se-
cure the rear of the hard top to the
