Does anyone know if the Punto Cabrio has a front strut brace as standard?

Cheers!

NO it doesnt. Mine didnt have one

Hi,
Mine does note have too...
Just a small question!
Do you know if there is a setting for the soft top (Electric).
It seems that it has moved a bit, side ways and is not folding completly down when opened!!!

Thanks
Karl (Black punto 12v 1.6 ELX)

when in the up position check all the bracing spars under the hood are all straight and not buckled or under considerable pressure.
When half down (if its possible) check all the spars are folding the same way (right and left sides) as it could be one of them is folding backwards and locking itself out so it cannot fold properly.

All the four pipes exiting from the pump and ending into the hydraulic movement (like a shock absorber) are folding fine.
The exact problem is that when the top folds down there is still some bit to go down. Do you think that there is a setting in the connection between the arms and the hood its self?

Cheers 16v Cab and Karl!

I think i get what you have. When the roof is down sometimes it is not completely down? So, if you look in the rear view mirror you can see hood.
When mine does this i stop it half way down, give it a shove and then it lies flat.

You are right that is the problem from the mirror to see the rear you can still see the hood..
Thanks for the suggestion but, it still when i will give it a push it is too hard and won't go flat. It seems that it is not folding the right way, or something else don't know!!!
Any suggestions what else it could be?

Thanks
Karl
