The Soft Top" in this section.
FREEDOM TOP THREE-PIECE MODULAR HARD
TOP — IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
• The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunt-
ing, 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 addi-
tional loads other than environmental (rain, snow,
etc.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame and
body side or fully removed.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door
or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
• The hard top assembly must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
• Careless handling and storage of the removable roof
panels may damage the seals, causing water to leak
into the vehicle's interior.
• The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water
to leak into the vehicle's interior.

Front Panel(s) Removal

right panel.
1. Fold down the sun visor, and move it to the side.
