    Vert owners who have rebuilt latch assemblies and top motor

    I have rebuilt the 2 latch assemblies and the top center motor. The motor and latches are obviously out of sync right now.

    What position should the latches be before I install the rods that connect the motor to them? What position should the vert top be in before I button everything up.

    Any insight is appreciated.

    I would install the motor and latches open because the top will be open. You can always manually operate the motor and latches once installed back on the top.
