removed from the rear compartment. Remove the four
knobs that secure the “trunk” to the body. Lift the
Add-A-Trunk™ out and place the knobs in the molded-in
storage area. Storage space is also provided for the wheel

CAUTION!
•The soft top is not designed to carry any addi-
tional loads such as roof racks, spare tires, build-
ing, hunting, or camping supplies, and/or lug-
gage, etc. Also, it was not designed as a structural
member of the vehicle, and thus cannot properly

If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) 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.
