The previous cabriolet top covering will no longer be available once existing supplies have been used up. For as long as stocks last, the covering is to be used on vehicles manufactured up to the start of production date specified above (with the exception of pilot production vehicles).
New cabriolet top covering (... 901.03):
If a cabriolet top covering is required as a spare part for vehicles manufactured up to the start of production date specified above (with the exception of pilot production vehicles), the corner bow must be reworked due to the modified restraining strap position on the top frame (= make new bore hole).
