8. Standing on the side of the vehicle, lift the top by the
side bow until it rests on the windshield frame.
9. Before attaching the header latches, be sure the top
retainers above the doors do not get trapped between the
top and the door frame. Also, make certain the feet at
both ends of the 2–bow (forward most bow) seat properlyon the side bows above the front doors. They should
cradle the tubing. Finally, make sure that the check strap
(the long, woven strap reaching from the rear bow to the
2–bow) does not get entangled in any of the framework
when unfolding the top.

side channel, leaving the last 3 in (7.6 cm) towards the
rear window loose (on both sides). Pulling down on the
rear roof bow (4–bow) will aid to reach the channel with
the retainers.14. To install the side windows, affix the window tem-
porarily by attaching to the Velcro
in the upper rear
corner. Start the zipper but close only about 1 in (2.5 cm).

along the top and rear of the window. Repeat this step for
the opposite side. 18. Locate the black swing gate bar. Slide the swing gate
bar over the receiver at the bottom inside of the rear
window. The spongy part of the seal should be down and
pointed outward to seal with the swing gate when closed.
