An improperly attached roof panel may fall into or
fly off the vehicle. You or others could be injured.
After installing the roof panel, always check that it
is firmly attached by pushing up on the underside
of the panel. Check now and then to be sure the
roof panel is firmly in place.
Notice: If you drop or rest a roof panel on its
edges, the roof panel, paint and/or weatherstripping
may be damaged. Always place the roof panel in
the stowage receivers after removing it from
the vehicle.
