Rear Hood Tension Bar for Peugeot 205 Cabriolet – OEM Ref. 8447.34
Restore your classic Peugeot 205 Cabriolet to its former glory with this rear hood tension bar (traverse) – a crucial part of the convertible top mechanism. This replacement part (OEM ref. 8447.34) ensures proper tension and alignment of the rear section of the soft top.
✅ Why Replace It?
Original tension bars are often damaged by rust over time, which compromises both their strength and the fit of the soft top, leading to leaks, wind noise, or poor appearance. A properly functioning mechanism is essential to maintain comfort and protect the value of your cabriolet.
🧰 Replacement: Easy Job or Not?
Be aware: replacing this traverse is a technical job, especially on older soft tops that have shrunk over the years. The fabric becomes less flexible, making installation under tension more difficult.
With a new, high-quality soft top, installation is usually straightforward – as long as the dimensions are accurate and the fabric is still supple.
