SOFT TOP — FOUR-DOOR MODELS
Please visit the owner’s section of Jeep.com for instruc-
tional videos.
CAUTION!
The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunt-
ing, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it
was not designed as a structural member of the
vehicle, and thus cannot properly carry any addi-
tional loads other than environmental (rain, snow,
etc.).
If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it
difficult to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction
of the vinyl coating on the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and
the top can then be snapped into place.
If the tempera-
ture is 41°F (5°C) or below, do not attempt to put the top
down or roll the rear or side curtains.
CAUTION!
•
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax buildup may
result.
•
Do not lower the top when the temperature is
below 41°F (5°C). Damage to the top may result.
•
Do not lower the top when the windows are dirty.
Grit may scratch the window.
•
Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or
fully lowered.
