SOFT TOP (4 DOOR MODELS)
CAUTION!
•The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building,
hunting, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc.
Also, it was not designed as a structural member of
the vehicle, and thus cannot properly carry any
additional loads other than environmental (rain,
snow, etc.).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.
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
41°F (5°C) or below, do not attempt to put the top down
or roll the rear or side curtains.

CAUTION!
•Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash.
Window scratches and wax build up may result.
•Do not lower the top when the temperature is below 41°F
(5°C). Damage to the top may result.
•Do not lower the top when the windows are dirty. Grit
may scratch the window.
•Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either
fully attached to the windshield frame, or fully lowered.
•Do not lower the top with the windows installed. Win-
dow and top damage may occur.
•Refer to “Appearance Care for Fabric Top Models” in
Section 7 of this manual. It contains important informa-
tion on cleaning and caring for your vehicle’s fabric top.
•Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or force
any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing the soft top.
Do not force or pry the soft top frame work when
opening or closing. Damage to the top may result.
WARNING!
•Do not drive vehicle with rear window curtain up
unless side curtains are also open. Dangerous
exhaust gases which can kill could enter the ve-
hicle.
•The fabric upper doors and fabric top are designed
only for protection against the elements. Do not
rely on them to contain occupants within the
vehicle or to protect against injury during an
accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
