The cargo compartment contains several securing/stabilizing points for the stored roof:

• Four rubber spacers (1 and 2) on the floor of the cargo compartment just inside the sill.
• Two moveable clamps (3) with locking pins are housed in the plate at the backrest. The latches of the front roof section engage in the locking pins and the clamps grip the front edge of the front roof section.
• Two cradles (4), one on each side in the cargo compartment. The link system is secured in these when the roof is open.

• Two rubber pads (5) on the upper section of the trunk lid limit the movement of the upper section of the roof and prevent the roof section from colliding with various trunk lid components and the like.
• Two rubber spacers (6) on the inside of the cargo compartment to support the window.
• Two arms (7) ensure correct movement of the roof during the final phase of roof opening.
• Two rubber heels (8) prevent the rear section of the roof from colliding with the front section during large roof movements.
