Main Pillar
Two hydraulic cylinders are positioned on the left and right sides of the top frame linkage
for raising and lowering the soft top frame. An angle hall sensor is used to detect the posi-
tioning of the main top linkage. The hydraulic lines for the right side main pillar cylinder are
routed under the top fabric along the tension bow.
Two gas filled piston struts are mounted on the top frame linkage, next to the hydraulic
cylinders, to dampen the raising and lowering of the top frame.
