Supertop – Installation Instructions
When drilling in the top
edge of the vehicle body,
check underneath for
wiring for the rear lights. Pull the wiring out of the
way before drilling.

Install Rear Corner Belt Rails

Install the Left and Right Rear Corner Belt Rails on
each side of the vehicle. Notice that the Corner
Belt Rails do not butt-up against the Side Belt Rails
installed in Step 3, this is normal. Use the Corner
Belt Rails as templates to mark, center punch and
drill two 3/8" holes in the top edge of the vehicle
body. Some vehicles may already have some of
these holes. Install the Corner Belt Rails with two
5/16" Phillips Head Bolts, two 5/16" Washers and
two 5/16" Tapping Plates. At the location of the
remaining hole in the Corner Belt Rail, next to the
tailgate, mark, center punch and drill a 1/8" hole.
Install a #8 x 1/2" Pan Head Screw. Do not tighten
the bolts yet.
There may be a small gap of
+/- 1/4" between the Corner Belt
Rails and the Side Belt Rails.
