Step 1:
Windshield Header/Over Door Bow Installation
Put on safety glasses.
After removing all existing Soft top or hard top hard-
ware/fabric/top, locate the Header/Top Deck assembly
shown in Fig1 and lay the assembly on either the box
lid or a soft towel.
Locate the two over door bows shown in Fig2. These
bows have the quick release knuckles pre-installed on
the rear of the bow ends and are sided. The “knob” on
the bow end must be facing inward on the header/Top
deck assembly and the slot of the quick release must
be facing up as shown in Fig3.
Slip the front bow end into the Header mount as shown
in Figs4 & 5 making sure it is as far forward as possi-
ble. Using a 3/32” drill bit and drill, drill a pilot hole
through the pre-drilled hole located on the over door
tube (Fig6). Repeat this on the opposite side (Fig7).
Remove the Bow end from the Header and again using
the 3/32” drill bit, drill a hole through the previous drilled
pilot holes into the inner steel rod of the header until
you feel the drill go through the steel inner. This may
take some force. Once the hole is drilled, locate the
self-tapping screw from the hardware kit and using a
phillip head screw driver, install the over door bow to
the Header (Fig 8).
Repeat this on the other side of the header so you
have both side tubes installed to the header/top deck
assembly. Set this completed assembly aside.
