Engine access with GAHH top

[Sanford_yee]

Hi..trying to access the engine compartment with a GAHH top. How much do you open the top and where does the glass window go? Over the roll bars or does it fold behind the roll bars? Any help would be appreciated.

I open the top so that it opens for about 1 foot
Then I have a bungee cord which I connect across the top (front to rear) which helps keep the window raised.
Access however is limited and my glass window pretty much lies flat behind the roll bars

Thanks Chris. Does the glass lie flat against the roll bar (vertically) or horizontally?

My Manual say open top 40cm. Disconnect the two cables one on either side of the top (tennsion cables) at lower ball head. Unclip the fabric cover from the 2 holders pulling downward. Fold the rear edge of the top forward toward roll bars. Connect restraint strap over driverside concertable top guide, Just under the canopy front left corner. The glass will be up against the roll bar vertically. My glass folds up against the top and rollbar with what is the top edge down and the bottom edge up.

The glass will only fold horizontally if you have the top with the extra rib otherwise it will hit the roll bar. I don't have the extra rib so it wont fold horizontally.





So ya i have an unedited video on how to get to the engine with the Gahh top that i haven't gotten around to upload because of a packed schedule. So if you have the Gahh top it should fold like the pictures. I used a rod to hold the top because i did not have a bungie rope. It is a limited space but you can manage. Hope this helps. Also note you could rest the glass a little above the roll bar which can be kind of seen in the pictures.
