windshield wiper
–
The windshield wiper switch is on the instrument panel to the
right of the steering wheel. The top of the rocker switch turns on the wiper for continuous
use. The bottom of the rocker switch is spring loaded momentary switch which operates
the wiper for as long as you hold the button. There is a magnetic switch on the windshield
frame that opens and disables the wiper when the windshield is folded down.

folding windshield and frame
–
The windshield frame can be folded up with or
without the windshield. The windshield frame must be up to use the convertible top. To
raise the frame, remove the thumb screws from each side of the dash cap, pull the
windshield up, and replace the thumb screws tightly. It can take a good bit of effort to
pull the windshield out of the receiver sockets when it is down. The windshield can be
raised and lowered with the frame up by opening the black windshield latches. When
mating the windshield to the frame make sure the latches are open so that the windshield
seats properly into the frame.
When raising or lowering the windshield, make sure the shooting rail is collapsed to its
lowest position because it will hinder holding onto the windshield all the way down to
where it sits in the sockets.
*Never trailer the Cabra with the windshield frame and convertible top up.

convertible top
–
To raise the top, remove the thumbscrews from the side of the
cab, raise the top to vertical and put the thumbscrews in the other holes on the side of
the cab. Always make sure the thumbscrews are tight, to prevent loss. Unfold the top and
pin it to the windshield frame with the 3/8” pins
while moving the other pinned joint
slightly up and down to get the pins lined up with the receiver holes on the windshield
frame. Once the front of the top is pinned to the windshield frame, insert the pins in the
other pinned joint. To lower the top, reverse the process. Always make sure to secure
the
tube frame of the top to the 3/8” thick aluminum
side pieces to keep the top secure
in the wind.
