German term

Ansatzverschraubung

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks soft top
I am translating a document about a problem with a soft top. Unfortunately I cannot give too much context due to confidentiality.

The soft top does not lock properly.
The remedy involves improving the installation process, i.e.

"Ansatzverschraubung" when open
"Endverschraubung" when closed.

Thanks in advance

start bolts (with top open)

A possibility without further context would be to "start the bolts with the top open" and then "tighten them to the final torque" with the top closed. This would require some restructuring grammatically, but is at least logical from a technical standpoint.
Peer comment(s):

agree Ken Cox : plausible and more than likely (if the fitting must mate with something else, it's both logical and good practice to secure it in the mated state)
