How do you repair the convertible top of the Fiat 500 cabrio?

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Convertible top

Let's see how to restore the hood of the Fiat 500 cabrio, specifying that in this video a Fiat Abarth 595 is shown, but nothing changes regarding the bodywork. The most attention and time to be dedicated to this work is on the hood guides, both because they wear out first and because the pullers that slide inside them break. Therefore, everything must be disassembled, the guides cleaned, greased, the mentioned pullers replaced, and the tension adjusted. The certainty that everything works is given by the opening and closing test, only in that case will we understand if everything is ok, or if we need to intervene on the aforementioned adjustments.
