Peugeot 205 Cabriolet / Décapotable
Restore the correct fit and tension of your Peugeot 205 Cabriolet soft top with this complete bundle including the rear hood tension bar / rear traverse (OEM ref. 8447.34) and a complete set of tension springs (OEM ref. 7903 G6 reference).
This combination is ideal for restorations, replacing an old convertible top, or solving poor hood alignment and loose fabric issues. Replacing both components together helps prevent uneven tension, sagging, premature wear, leaks, and wind noise.
✅ Why replace this bundle?
After many years of exposure to weather and moisture, the original parts are often:
- heavily corroded
- weakened or deformed
- causing poor hood alignment
- responsible for leaks and wind noise
This complete set restores the correct tension across the entire rear section of the convertible top.
When fitting a new hood, replacing both the rear tension bar and springs at the same time is strongly recommended for the best result.

On older soft tops, the fabric may have shrunk over time, making installation under tension more difficult.
