Hard Top Removal
Follow these simple steps to remove the hard
top.
1. Remove both front panels. Refer to “Free-
dom Top Removal” in the previous
section.
2. Open both doors.
3. Remove the two Torx head screws that
secure the hard top at the B-pillar (near
the top of the door) using a #40 Torx head
driver (Four–Door Only).
4. Remove the six Torx head screws that
secure the hard top to the vehicle (along
the interior body side) using a #40 Torx
head driver.
5. Open the swing gate all the way to ensure
clearance of the rear window glass. Lift
the rear window glass.
6. Locate and disconnect the wire harness
on the left rear inside corner of the
vehicle.
7. Remove the washer hose (next to the wire
harness) by pinching the grips on hose
connector and pull downward.
8. Close the swing gate.
9. Remove the hard top from the vehicle.
Place the hard top on a soft surface to
prevent damage.
CAUTION!
• The front panel(s) must be positioned
properly to ensure sealing. Improper in-
stallation can cause water to leak into
the vehicle's interior.
• The hard top assembly must be posi-
tioned properly to ensure sealing. Im-
proper installation can cause water to
leak into the vehicle's interior.
• The hard top is not designed to carry any
additional loads such as roof racks,
spare tires, building, hunting, or camp-
ing supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it
was not designed as a structural member
of the vehicle, and thus cannot properly
carry any additional loads other than
environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top
has been either fully attached to the
windshield frame and bodyside, or fully
removed.
• The removal of the hard top requires four
adults located on each corner. Failure to
follow this caution could damage the
hard top.
