WARNING!
•
Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window
up/removed unless the quarter windows are also
removed. Dangerous exhaust gases could enter
the vehicle causing harm to the driver and
passengers.
•
The fabric quarter windows and fabric top are
designed only for protection against the elements.
Do not rely on them to contain occupants within
the vehicle or to protect against injury during an
accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
•
Make sure hands and fingers are clear of all pinch
points when installing and removing the soft top.
The lift assist mechanism and side bows may
cause serious injury if fingers or hands get caught
in between.
CAUTION!
The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting
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 additional loads
other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it diffi-
cult to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction of
the vinyl or acrylic materials of the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the
top fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size

and the top can then be installed. If the temperature is
41°F (5°C) or below, do not attempt to put the top
down or roll the rear or side curtains.
•
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax buildup may
result.
•
Do not lower the top when the temperature is
below 41°F (5°C). Damage to the top may result.
•
Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or
fully lowered.
•
Follow the proper steps for cleaning and caring for
your vehicle's fabric top
•
Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or
force any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing
the soft top. Do not force or pry the soft top frame-
work when opening or closing. Damage to the top
may result.
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.
CAUTION!

CAUTION!
•
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.
