FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield and removable side bars on
your vehicle are structural elements that can provide some
protection in some accidents. The windshield also provides
some protection against weather, road debris and intrusion
of small branches and other objects.
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down and the side bars removed as you lose the protection
these structural elements can provide.
If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be
removed and the windshield folded down. However, the
protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you
remove the side bars and fold down the windshield, drive
slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the speed of
the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with low range
operation preferred if you are driving off-road with the
windshield folded down.

Attach the straps through the slots located on the floor
behind the folded rear seat at the front of the storage bin
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
authorized dealer for the cinch straps.
10. Remove the windshield wiper arms by first pulling the wiper away from the windshield and out to the “lock”
position. Unsnap the wiper arm nut caps, and remove
the retaining nuts. Lift the wiper arms off and store
them in the center console or securely behind the rear
seat. NOTE:
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.
11. Remove the lower windshield plates by removing the six black round-headed Torx head screws (using a #40
Torx head driver) on each side of the base of the
windshield.
