Step Two
Rub chalk on the snaps on the inside of the top to mark the stud locations.
Step Three
Move to the front of one of the side panels. Pull the top fabric down and press the snaps
against the body. The chalk will leave marks for the Body Stud locations. The Threaded
Body Studs should be 1/4 inch below the top lip of the body. Center punch the
mark and drill a 3/16 inch hole at the marked location. Install a Body
Stud and a Hex Nut and snap the top to the Body Stud.
Repeat this procedure on the other side of
the vehicle.

Locate the front Body
Stud first.
Step Four
To ensure a good fit, have one person pull down on the rear bow while the other person
pulls the fabric down and to the rear to locate the rear corner studs. When you are
satisfied with the tightness of the top, press the snaps against the body. The chalk will
leave marks for the Body Stud locations. The Threaded Body Studs should be 1/4 inch
below the top lip of the body. Center punch the marks and drill 3/16 inch holes at the
marked locations on each rear corner. Install a Body Stud and Hex Nut in the rear corners.
Snap the top to the corner body studs.
Step Five
Install the remaining Threaded Body Studs on the Side Panels and the Tailgate. Alternate
from side to side as you install the studs and snap the top to each new stud. This will
keep the tension of the top evenly spread.
Step Six
Thread the buckle strap assembly through each Footman Loop and then back through the
buckle. Do not over tighten. Wrap the fabric flaps, sewn to the top above and behind the
doors, around the Horizontal and Vertical Assemblies and fasten the hook and loop
fasteners. Cut the PSA Hook in half and assemble the PSA Hook on the bevel of the
vehicle, where the two side curtains zip together.
Note: The weather strip in the vertical flap should lay to the outside of the Vertical Assembly.
