230 softtop spring
« on: April 22, 2023, 16:53:05 »
All,
I am reassembling my softtop mechanism and have a question on the correct orientation of the wire spring in the pics. Should the wire go high or low? I was looking but couldn’t find any pictures. These were gone when I took it apart.
Thank you in advance

Looks like it goes over the top in these pictures

Thanks to both of you.
