Good To Know

Q: Why do these ball joints fail on convertible tops? A: The original plastic joints become brittle over time due to heat and age, causing them to snap under the pressure of the roof motor.

Q: Is it necessary to replace both sides at the same time? A: While not strictly required, replacing both ball joints simultaneously is recommended to ensure even wear and prevent future unilateral failure.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
