Hallo,

Are both of the soft top cover hinges spring loaded?

I have removed my soft top cover (horseshoe) for restoration and noticed that one hinge is spring loaded ( stays upright) but the other isn't. Is this correct?

Many thanks,
Andy

Thank you for the reply.
It is now obvious that one of my hinge torsion bars has broken.
Cheers,
Andy

One spring for the top cover. One spring for the trunk lid.
