If an over lip liner is fitted, holes will need to
be cut in the liner to allow the fitment of the
six clamps. If an underlip liner is fitted
ascertain how stiff the plastic is. If it is too
stiff to allow the clamp to be pushed up
between it and the metal lip, proceed as
follows.
9
Position the clamps so as to miss any ribs
on the liner and if possible missing the
canopy alloy rail securing screws. The front
and rear clamps should be approximately
150mm from their respective rail ends.
Note: If the securing screws cannot be
avoided cut a notch in the clamp locating
ridge of the top jaw of the clamp to bridge
them. See ILL 3.
