Supertop – Installation Instructions
If you are replacing an old soft top, be certain
that all parts of the old top are removed,
including the windshield retainer. Old metal parts are
not compatible with the new Supertop. Using parts
other than those provided in your Supertop kit can
result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle
and soft top.
Improper windshield
adjustment will result
in poor fi tting top and
doors, causing looseness or undue strain on the
top.
