9. To safely store the side bars in your vehicle, use four
cinch straps (available from your authorized dealer).
Attach the straps through the slots located on the floor
behind the folded rear seat at the front of the storage bin
cover.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you carry the side bars
loose in your vehicle. Remove the side bars from the
vehicle or securely store them as described or they may
cause personal injury if an accident occurs. See your
authorized dealer for the cinch straps.
10. Remove the windshield wiper arms by first pulling the
wiper away from the windshield and out to the “lock”
position. Unsnap the wiper arm nut caps, and remove
the retaining nuts. Lift the wiper arms off and store
them in the center console or securely behind the rear
seat.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a battery terminal puller
tool in order to separate the wiper arms from the shaft after
the nuts have been removed.
11. Remove the lower windshield plates by removing the
six black round-headed Torx head screws (using a #40
Torx head driver) on each side of the base of the
windshield.
12. Lower the windshield gently until it contacts the
rubber hood bumpers.
13. Secure the windshield by passing a cinch strap through
the footman hoop on the center of the hood and on the
center of the windshield frame. Tighten the strap to
secure the windshield in place.
