7. Use the Torx tool supplied in the toolkit
to tighten the bolts just enough to keep
the rear brackets engaged. Do not fully
tighten.
8. Ensure the hard-top is correctly aligned
on the vehicle.
9. Holding the rear mounting brackets to
prevent them from twisting, tighten the
bolts to secure the hard-top in place. Do

front locating pins to the hard-top.
WARNING: Make sure that the
hard-top is securely fitted by trying
to lift each corner in turn. If any
movement is evident, check and tighten
the hard-top fixings. Driving with a loose
or incorrectly secured hard-top could
result in an accident which could lead to
serious injury and even death.

the windows in the fully raised position.
12. Position the front header rail trim panel
and align the bolts to the holes in the
hard-top, starting with the bolt in the
center.

panel. Do not overtighten.
WARNING: Do not drive the vehicle

collision, injury could result from contact with
the brackets.

Note: Tesla Motors has set your windows to
accommodate either the hard-top or the
soft-top. To prevent water from entering the

your windows.
