the red latch to the right until you can only see the latch
on one end (right) of the connector. This will unlock
connector tab, allowing the tab to be pressed down and
enabling the harness to be disconnected from the hard
top.

from the fuse block to prevent dome lamp illumination.
Hard Top Installation
NOTE:If the door frames are installed from soft top
usage, they must be removed prior to installation of the
hard top.
1. Inspect the hard top seals for damage and replace if
necessary.
2. Install the hard top using the same steps for removal
in reverse order.
NOTE:The hard top must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Set the hard top on the windshield frame
so that there is no overhang. Also, make sure that the
hard top is sitting flush with the body at the sides and
check to ensure that there is a uniform gap between the
lift glass and hard top.

•Do not drive vehicle with rear window curtain up
unless side curtains are also open. Dangerous
exhaust gases which can kill could enter the
vehicle.
•The fabric upper doors and fabric top are de-
signed only for protection against the elements.

the vehicle or to protect against injury during an
accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
Folding Down The Soft Top
NOTE:Clean side and rear windows before removal to
assist in preventing scratching during removal of the soft
top. If zippers are difficult to operate due to road dust,
etc., clean them with a mild soap solution and a small
brush. Cleaning products are available through your
authorized dealer.

3. Begin working from the rear of the vehicle with the
tailgate open. Standing to the side of the vehicle, lift the
top by the 2 bow and 3 bow over the sport bar.
4. Engage the hooks on each side of the header into the
windshield slots and do not fully engage the header
latch. If you close the latches too soon, the top willbecome so tight that it will make many of the remaining
steps difficult or even impossible. That is why locking the
latches will be the last step.
NOTE:Grasp the drip rail retainers on each side and
untrap them from the door frame. Do not tuck the drip
rails into the door frame at this time.

5. Pull the side bow forward and down. Make certain the
blocks on the side bows line up with the retainers on the
door rails. Lock the blocks in place.
NOTE:Check to make certain the check straps are not
tangled on any of the other top hardware. This will
prevent the top from being put all the way up.6. Move to the rear of the vehicle and gently pull the sail
panels over the 3 bow.
