What This Product Does

The plastic end provides the push rod connection within the folding-roof linkage. Replacing a fractured end repairs this connection without treating the component as a complete rod assembly. The remaining rod and adjoining mechanism should be inspected to establish whether an end-only repair is appropriate.

Functions

• Replaces the breakaway plastic portion of the roof push rod.
• Reconnects the rod to its associated roof linkage.
• Allows an end-only repair where the remaining assembly is serviceable.
  
  

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match.
• Component material: plastic.
• Compatible push rod references: 98756127900, 98756127901, 98756127902, 98756127903 and 98656127902.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

A visibly fractured or detached plastic end is a direct reason for inspection. Uneven roof travel, interrupted movement or abnormal linkage noise can also warrant checking this connection, but these symptoms do not establish that the end alone is faulty.

Why Replacement Matters

A broken end leaves the affected push rod disconnected from its linkage. Renewing the damaged plastic component addresses that connection, provided the rod and surrounding mechanism remain suitable for reuse. Investigate the cause of breakage before operating the roof again rather than assuming a new end resolves every underlying fault.

FAQs

Is this the complete push rod?
No. It is the replacement plastic end only.
