Freedom Top Three-Piece Modular Hard Top - If Equipped; Front Panel(S) Removal - Jeep Gladiator 2020 Owner's Manual

98 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
FREEDOM TOP THREE-PIECE MODULAR HARD TOP
— IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
• The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
loads, such as after-market roof racks, spare tires,
building materials, hunting or camping supplies, etc.
For information on optional Mopar accessory roof
racks, refer to "Roof Luggage Rack" in this section.
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either
fully attached to the front header, sport bar, 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

The left side panel must be removed before removing the
right side panel.
1. Fold down the sun visor against the windshield.
2. Turn the three L-shaped locks on the left side panel (one at the
