96 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
DOOR FRAME — IF EQUIPPED WITH A
SOFT TOP
WARNING!
Do not drive your vehicle on public roads with the door
frame(s) removed as you will lose the protection that
they can provide. This procedure is furnished for use
during off-road operation only.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
 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 removable door
frame(s) may damage the seals, causing water to
leak into the vehicle's interior.
 The door frame(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
