Raise the windshield and reinstall the side bars as soon as
the task that required their removal is completed and
before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and
off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised or
folded down.
Outside rearview mirrors are mounted on the doors. If you
choose to remove the doors, see your authorized dealer for
a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror. Federal law
requires outside mirrors on vehicles for on-road use.
WARNING!
Carefully follow these warnings to help protect against
personal injury:
•Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the wind-
shield down.
• Do not drive your vehicle unless the windshield is
securely fastened, either up or down.
• Eye protection, such as goggles, should be worn at all
times when the windshield is down.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Be sure that you carefully follow the instructions for
raising the windshield. Make sure that the folding
windshield, windshield wipers, side bars, and all
associated hardware and fasteners are correctly and
tightly assembled before driving your vehicle. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions may prevent your
vehicle from providing you and your passengers’
protection in some accidents.
• If you remove the doors, store them outside the
vehicle. In the event of an accident, a loose door may
cause personal injury.
Lowering The Windshield And Removing Side Bars

cover.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you carry the side bars
loose in your vehicle. Remove the side bars from the
vehicle or securely store them as described or they may
cause personal injury if an accident occurs. See your

It may be necessary to use a battery terminal puller
tool in order to separate the wiper arms from the shaft after
the nuts have been removed.
