Description

Water may leak into the passenger compartment at the area between the front header and the soft top. This leakage is due to out of specification soft top link machining. The production and inspection procedure has been improved to reduce this concern.

Customers complaining of leakage should have the vehicle shower tested and if necessary, the soft top link assembly replaced.

NOTE: If leakage is still present, refer to the workshop manual for repair instructions.
