Door Frame Installation

NOTE:
The door frames (if equipped with a soft top) can be installed
when the doors are attached or removed.
1. Install the front door frame first.
2. Ensure the windshield is in the "up" position. Carefully
place the front door frame in the rubber seal at the top of
the windshield, and line up the holes for the Torx head
fasteners (two for each door).
3. Swing the frame bracket around the side of the door
frame, and insert the fasteners from underneath. Tighten
with the #T40 Torx head driver until they are snug, being
careful not to cross-thread the fasteners or overtighten.
Refer to the following table for the appropriate torque
specifications for the door frame fasteners.
