Adjust cabrio top tension?

I read a tutorial on Evilution regarding adjusting the tension on the 450 convertible top. Is there any such adjustment procedure for the 451, or are the tops self-tensioning? I tried to inspect the mechanism and can see what appears to be a tension band that runs along the top rail on each side, but I cannot see where it attaches or if there is any adjustment.

I would recommend the dealer. There is little to no adjustments that can be made on that top. And they are very fragile. And a word that I have found to go hand and hand with fragile on this vehicle is expensive.
