144 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
16. Before lowering the top, open the swing gate to
prevent possible damage to the rear center mounted
brake lamp. Move to the front of the vehicle. Grasp the
side bow behind the header and lift the top, folding it
toward the rear of the vehicle.
17. Tuck the fabric and the check straps between the
bows and as far inward as possible. This will keep any
portion of the top from flapping outside of the vehicle.
When the top is completely down, position the drip rails
so they make a "v-shape", this prevents damage to the
soft top material.
18. Close front header latches.
19. Remove door frames, if desired. Refer to "Door
Frame" in this section.
