Description (français)

Sur les véhicules à quatre portes qui ont un toit ouvrant que l'on peut enlever, on risque de le remettre en place avec les charnières en mauvaise position. La section ouvrante du toit pourrait alors se détacher pendant que le véhicule est sur la route, mettant en danger les autres véhicules et les piétons.
