Hood Tensioner Set and Rear Crossbar – Peugeot 205 Cabriolet / Décapotable
For a perfectly tight and well-fitting soft top, both the side tensioners and the rear crossbar are essential. Together, these parts provide correct tension, stability, and a clean finish – both technically and visually.
📝 Description
This complete set is specifically designed for the Peugeot 205 Cabriolet / Décapotable:
-
Rear crossbar (OEM 8447 34): firmly secures the hood at the rear, prevents sagging, and reduces wind noise.
-
Side tensioner set (OEM 7903 G6): two metal tensioners that keep the fabric tight along the sides, maintaining the correct fit without folds or gaps.
⚠️ Common issue
Original tensioners often rust over time, leading to poor hood fitment. Replacement can be difficult on older, shrunken tops, but is usually straightforward with a new, well-fitting soft top.
🛠 Installation tip
The tensioners must be carefully glued into the fabric. Allow the glue to dry completely before applying tension.
➡️ Tip: preferably have installation carried out by a specialized professional.
