Before you begin Installation:
We are excited that you have chosen the MasterTop ShadeMaker Mesh Bimini Top Plus! These high-quality
tops are designed to enhance your fair-weather driving pleasure while providing needed shade while driving
in the hot sun. Please note that it is important that you become familiar with the installation process of this top
by reading the following instruction sheet and warnings thoroughly. Though we use only the finest materials
in creating this top, any product that is exposed to the elements requires some general maintenance to keep
it looking like new. Please see page 6 for these important maintenance tips. Please also note that it is normal
for the mesh fabric to contract and wrinkle when stored in the shipping carton. In a few days the fabric will
relax and wrinkles will disappear.
When unpacking, check to make sure all parts are included. If any part is missing or broken, please call Mas-
terTop customer service at 720-575-5440.
IMPORTANT Instruction Sheet Strap Installation Note: (all versions)
Installing the MasterTop ShadeMaker Mesh tops entails the wrapping of nylon webbing around several
locations on your factory installed sport bar. In order to simplify the installation process, the following instruc-
tions show the general location of these straps and may not match exactly to the model you purchased. In all
cases, the straps are to be wrapped around the sport bar and not around the door surround hardware
.
Threading Straps through Buckles:
Throughout the installation, you will need to thread webbing straps through buckles se-
veral times. Please review the picture for correct strap routing through the buckles. As a
rule of thumb, run the strap below and through the sewn side of the buckle first and then
back down through the end of the buckle. Tighten the strap by simply pulling the exposed
webbing after threading the strap through the buckle.
NOTICE
Remove your factory hard or soft top before installation. For those vehicles with a
factory soft top, you will NOT be using your factory soft top header for this insta-
llation.
The ShadeMaker Mesh Top Concept:
The MasterTop ShadeMaker Mesh Bimini Top/Bimini Top Plus series are designed as an easy-on, easy off
sun shade for your Jeep. The tight mesh weave is specially designed to block the heat caused by the sun
whi-le letting light and air to flow freely. The installation of these products is easy
,
requires
no
windshield
header, and allows this product to be left on while you run your hard or your soft top.
Enjoy the shade and thank you for purchasing MasterTop products!
