stick the Velcro' buttons on the glass for a proper fit
every time you install the sunshades. To do this, first
remove the T-top
with the sunshade installed and
place it upside down on
a table or bench. Take care
not to scratch the glass.
5. Pull the sunshade back a little and remove the backing
paper from the Velcro@ buttons. Push the sunshade
back into place sticking the Velcro@ to the glass.
6. Install the T-tops, close the latch and lock the T-top.
Repeat the above steps for the passenger-side sunshade.

You can store the sunshades two different ways:
1. When the T-tops are in use, store the sunshades in their
storage area
in the rear of the car, and make sure the
close-out panel is
in its closed, upright position.
2. When you have the T-tops off and in their storage
slots, store the sunshades on the T-tops, in their
installed position.
