WARNING!
• Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window
curtain up unless the side curtains are also removed.
Dangerous exhaust gases could enter the vehicle
causing harm to the driver and passengers.
• The fabric upper doors 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 tops.
The zippers and side bows may cause serious injury
if fingers or hands get caught in between.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 99
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 difficult to put
up. This is caused by a natural contraction of the vinyl
coating on 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.
