Install Rear Corner Studs
To ensure a good fi t, 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 satisfi ed 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 be-
low 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.
Install the remaining Threaded
Body Studs on the Side Pan-
els 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.
