CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on the top material:
•It is recommended that the top be free of water
prior to opening it. Operating the top, opening a
door or lowering a window while the top is wet
may allow water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
• Careless handling and storage of the soft top may
damage the seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle’s interior.
• The soft top must be positioned properly to ensure
sealing. Improper installation can cause water to
leak into the vehicle’s interior. NOTE:
Do not remove any of the three attachment
knobs unless you are planning on installing the hard top.
