RAISING AND LOWERING THE ROOF

Raising:

1. 

Unlatch the safety strap located at the front of the roof.

2.  Pull down and release the spring latches on each side of  
 

the roof.

3.  Push up on the roof until the pneumatic lifts take over. 
4.  Allow the canvass to fully extend.

WARNING: 

Items must be removed from the roof rack prior to 

lifting and lowering the roof. 

Lowering:

1. 

Remove all articles, pets and people in the loft area  

 

before lowering the roof.

2.  Pull down on the black handle straps to lower the roof. 
3.  As you lower the roof pull the canvass in toward interior  
 

of the vehicle. Ensure canvass is not pinched between 

          hinges. Damage to canvass caught in the hinges is 
          not warrantable. 
4.  As the roof is lowered once the pneumatic struts have  
 

released to the stow position the roof will become   

 heavy.
5.  Tuck the canvass into the top edge of the lower pan. 
6.  Inspect the exterior of the roof line to ensure no    
 

canvass is stuck between the roof and rubber seal.

7. 

Engage the spring latches located on the interior of the  

 

driver and passenger side of the roof.

8.  Pull the safety strap located at the front of the roof.

NOTE:

 It is recommended that you have assistance when 

lowering the roof.

NOTE: 

The interior canopy side walls contain 2 collapsing 

spring latches. Pull straps in when lowering the roof to avoid 
damage to the canopy canvas.
