3. – Ask the customer for the following
information:
if the customer noticed the fault when it
originally occurred;
description of the consequence of the fault
(e.g. tonneau cover jamming while closing).

Notes:
4. Print the list of RHT ECU parameters and errors
using the DEIS tester, and attach to the ROL.
Notes:

5. – With the RHT roof in the intermediate
position, measure the distance between the
front hooks as follows:
Hold the end of a tape measure against the
inner side of the front left hook (Fig. 31);
Extend the tape measure to the inner side of
the front right hook (Fig. 32);
Note the measurement in the space aside.

DENTED RHT PANELS
7. – In the event of dents in the front roof panel,
Notes:
measure the distance between the kinematics
levers as follows:
With the RHT roof in the intermediate
position, apply modelling clay to the right
and left hand kinematics in the position
indicated, with a bulge along the “Y”
(longitudinal) axis of the kinematics
(Fig. 35);
Electrically manoeuvre the RHT roof to stack
the roof panels in the luggage compartment
with the tonneau cover still open, so that the
kinematics levers make impressions in the
modelling clay;
Manoeuvre the RHT roof electrically to return
it to the intermediate position;
On both sides, measure the distance between
the kinematics and the bottom of the
impression made by the lever, then note the
values in the space aside (Fig. 36);
Remove the modelling clay from the
kinematics and levers.

Notes:
8. – Check if any stiffness or sticking is noted when
manually manoeuvring the storage lock levers
(Fig. 37) and/or the rear hooks (Fig. 38).

panels while roof is locking in coupé position:
- manoeuvre the roof electrically into the
coupé configuration until it is almost
completely closed (Fig. 47);
- Wait for the system pressure to subside;
- Measure the alignment (Fig. 49) at the edge
indicated in Fig. 48, and note the value
measured in the space aside.

INCORRECT CLOSURE OF LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID
1. – Perform the procedure to check that the
luggage compartment lid closes correctly as
indicated in TI 1989 of March 2012. Does the
luggage compartment lid fail to close correctly
when the roof is changing from Coupé to
Spider configuration, from Spider to Coupé
configuration, or in both cases?
2. – Ask the customer how frequently the luggage
compartment lid fails to close correctly, and if
the fault occurs in specific situations.

Notes:

Notes:
3. – Has the lid already been adjusted (during PDI,
services, other work)?
Give details of any work done (what was
adjusted/replaced to rectify the fault and how).

4. – Measure the preload of the tonneau cover by
measuring the distance between the surfaces of
the tonneau cover kinematics and the surface of
the front roof shell (Fig. 50); Enter the values
measured in the space aside.

5. – Measure the alignment between the luggage
compartment lid and fenders on both sides,
measuring the value at 20 mm from the rear
edge of the lid itself (Fig. 51); Enter the values
measured in the space aside.

Notes:

Fig. 51

6. – Measure the alignment along the “X” axis
between the luggage compartment lid lock and
striker:
- Mark the top edge of the hook with ink
using a marker pen (Fig. 52);
- Close the luggage compartment lid, then
reopen and photograph the position of the
mark left on the hook by the luggage
compartment lid lock (Fig. 53).

luggage compartment lid lock and striker:
- Open and close the luggage compartment
lid and check that the lid closes correctly
and latches longitudinally (not diagonally).

JAMMED RHT
Notes:
1. – Check if a fault message is displayed on the
instrument panel. Specify any message
displayed.
Notes:
2. – Indicate the position in which the RHT jammed
and take a photograph.

3. – Did the roof jam while opening or closing?

4. – Were any noises heard while the roof was
opening?
