Installation: Replacing the 3/16" Main Cable
Safety: Prop the roof with solid supports before servicing. After any repair, raise and lower the roof several times and confirm the door seats properly.
- Raise the roof and brace it securely; remove the winch cover.
- Crank the winch down 4–5 turns to create slack.
- Remove the cable keeper nut and bolt from the side of the winch spool and unwrap the old cable.
- Pull the cable back through the harness square (2"×2" steel block) to remove it.
- Thread the new cable through the harness square, ensuring the needle bearing and washers are in place between the crimp and the block.
- Thread the cable through the winch spool and reattach with the cable keeper.
- Crank the winch to the up position while holding tension on the cable. Ensure at least two wraps of cable remain on the spool when the roof is fully down.
- Reassemble and adjust the final roof height.
