If your vehicle is equipped with a Dual Top, you must
remove one of the tops from the vehicle. If the soft top is
removed, the pivot brackets must also be removed from
the sport bar. The soft top was installed at the factory for
shipping purposes only. The soft top and the hard top are
to be used independently. Removal is mandatory to
prevent any possible wear and tear on the soft top. Your
vehicle warranty will not cover damage resulting from
both tops remaining on the vehicle at the same time for
extended periods of time.

TOP — IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
•The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunt-
ing, 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 addi-
tional loads other than environmental (rain, snow,
etc.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame and
body side or fully removed.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door
or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
• The hard top assembly must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
