RAISING THE WINDSHIELD
1. Release the strap that secured the windshield in the
lowered position.
2. Raise the windshield.
3. Using the provided #T40 Torx head driver, reinstall
the four Torx head fasteners located along the inte-
rior of the windshield (two on each side of the
header trim). Secure them until they are snug, being
careful not to cross-thread the fasteners or
overtighten.
4. Reinstall the windshield wiper arms using the pro-
vided 15 mm socket. First, align the tips of the
blade to the “T” mark in the glass. Then, while hold-
ing the arm in that position, reinstall the hex nut and
tighten until snug. Be careful not to overtighten.
Repeat for the other arm.
5. Reinstall the protective caps over the wiper arm hex
bolts and push gently until they snap into place.
NOTE:
Make sure the windshield is raised prior to installing
the tops.
