If the temperature is below 72ÉF (24ÉC) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it
difficult to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction
of the vinyl coating on the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and
the top can then be snapped into place.If temperature is
41ÉF (5ÉC) or below, do not attempt to put the top down
or roll the rear or side curtains.CAUTION!
²Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build up may
result.
²Do not lower the top when the temperature is
below 41ÉF (5ÉC). Damage to the top may result.
²Do not lower the top when the windows are dirty.
Grit may scratch the window.
²Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or
fully lowered.
²Do not lower the top with the windows installed.
Window and top damage may occur.
²Refer to ªAppearance Care for Fabric Top Mod-
elsº in Section 7 of this manual. It contains
