When reinstalling Speak-
er Pods, be careful not to 
pinch the wires between 

the edge of the Speaker Pod and the Sport Bar.

If your vehicle has a cover over the Center Sport 
Bar, unzip the cover to access the bar. 

Locate the Main Pivot Brackets in the parts kit. 
Orient the brackets with the tab toward the top and 
the rear of the vehicle. Align the holes in the bracket 
with the holes in the bar and install the bracket us-
ing two M6 Hex Screws for each bracket. 

Stretch the cover around the bar and slip the open-
ings in the cover over the tabs on the Main Pivot 
Brackets. Zip the cover closed.

Main Pivot Bracket

M6 Hex 
Screws

These M6 screws have special threads 
which will self-tap into non-threaded 

holes as well as provide a tight, vibration resistant 
attachment in pre-threaded holes.

Install Main Pivot Brackets

Locate the parts of the Right and Left Rear Bow 
Brackets in the parts kit. Each bracket has two 
pieces which are stamped R (right) and L (left). 
Match rights and lefts. 

If your vehicle has a cover over the Rear Sport Bar 
Legs, unzip the cover to access the bar. 

You will have to slip the parts of the Rear Bow 
Brackets between the impact foam and the rear 
sport bars. To do this, slip the Inboard half of the 
bracket under the foam and around the sport bar 
until the slot in the rear of the bracket is exposed 
on the opposite side. Hook the tab on the Outboard 
half into the slot and rotate the two pieces into posi-
tion so that the tab on the bracket hooks into the 
rear opening of the seat belt cylinder. 

If you have a Sport Bar Cover, wrap the cover 
around the bar and mark the location of the tabs on 
the Rear Bow Brackets. Cut openings in the cover 
for the tabs. Slip the new openings in the cover 
over the metal tabs and zip the cover closed.

Locate the Rear Bow Bracket Bumpers in the parts 
kit and slip them over the two top tabs in each 
bracket. Install a 10-32 x 1/2" Screw and a 10-32 
Lock Nut through the bumpers and bracket.

Install Rear Bow Brackets

Use pliers to squeeze the top tabs, if 
necessary, to align the holes and im-

prove ease of installation of the Bracket Bumpers.
