SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
FOR THE TOP
4-
Drape the top over the roll cage with the clear vinyl toward the back.
5-
Cinch the supplied front strap around the front vertical cab frame tube at the joint. See Photo 7. Feed the opposite end of the webbing
through the sewn loop.
6-
Remove the self-adhesive Velcro from the top. Attach this to the top section of the windshield (read the note below). This will go on
center, 5.5" from the top of the windshield to the bottom edge of the Velcro - see Photo 8. Hint: For best results, install the top without
this and note the location as this may move slightly between tops.
NOTE: Clean noted area with isoproply rubbing alcohol and allow to dry, Peel the backing of the self-adhesive Velcro and adhere.
maximum Velcro adhesion will occur in 24 hours at room temperature.
7-
Remove the front attachment straps from the buckle on the top. Connect the front strap down around the front vertical cab frame bar.
To do this, send the end through the sewn loop. The tail of webbing should face forward and webbing should partly grab the “crack” of the
the cab frame seam. See Photo 7. Cinch this strap very tight. Thread the top section of the webbing through the buckle on the front
corner. IMPORTANT - pull the webbing through buckle so that there is 2" of webbing beneath the buckle. This will yield the proper
location for the frame and the top on the windshield. Adjust Velcro as needed. Hint: You may want to cover the Velcro with tape while the
top is positioned. The Velcro is designed to help seal the front edge. The top Velcro is not entirely necessary for the installatin of the cab.
8-
Pull the rear corners of the back over the cab frame. This will be difficult for the first installation. You will need to pull firmly on the lower
rear flap to get the top rear corners to “pop” into place.
9-
Connect the rear side release buckle straps around the grab handle. When doing this, be sure the plastic brace (screwed to the magnet
block) is forward of the cab frame tube. Pull down additionally until the rear flap is low enough to velcro to the frame. Also, the top of the
block should be near the weld of the upper section of the handle - see Photo 9. The top canvas should be tight. Note: When strapping
the magnet block in place for the initial fit, it will require you to push it in firmly. This will help stretch the fabric and help the strap to hold
the block in place. Note: The block location is important to getting a good seal for the doors.
10-
Clean and attach the Velcro to the cab frame bar (bottom of the rear curtain flap - between the cab
and the box). This should be at the
top edge of the frame.
11-
Velcro the strap around the lower handle section to the outer side of the Velcro.

FOR THE DOORS:
12-
Loosen the front door panel torx bolts seen in Photo 10. Install the bracket with the radius facing outward and re-tighten torx bolts.
Note the rear door, it is important to use the forward most bolt. When installing the mounting bracket, tilt it slightly to allow clearance for
the Velcro to go through - see Photo 11.
13-
Install the rear door first - this door has the magnet blocks on the front section. Put the long clevis pin through both sections of the upper
upper plastic hardware. Install the door to the pin below the top’s hardware, using the clevis pin. Allow the magnets to catch and hold
the door while you install the lower pin (small) to the lowest bracket. This will be snug initially. Note: The top mount can be lowered by
loosening the set screw and rotating it down 10-12 degrees. This allows clearance in the frame tubes.
14-
Pull the fabric forward to the door mounting points on the top and bottom. The skin should match the frame - no excess material at the
corners. Thread the 1" side release strap around the mounting bracket for the front seat belt - see Photo 12. Note: Be sure that the
lower strap goes under the door frame tube. This strap will pull the bottom door fabric into the corner to close the gap. Note: If this is
too tight the door will be difficult to close, too loose and there will be a gap in the corner.
15-
Attach the lower magnet block. As with the rear block, this block should be forward of the cab frame. Attach the top 2" Velcro that
attaches the door to frame. Be sure this is tight. Attach the bottom front velcro to the hinge bracket - see Photo 13.
16-
Attach the front door to the mounting hardware using similar pins and technique for the rear door. Note: Adjust top mounting bracket if
necessary. This should be in the center of the material cut out.
17-
Attach the 1" side release buckle. Thread the webbing behind the windshield and back down to the lower forward part of the door. The
webbing should be mde tight to create an air seal up front and to hold the door in place. Firmly attach the Velcro strap to the lower hinge
mount. Refer to Photo 13 & Photo 15 for the webbing route. This will pull the door in and forward to close any residual air gaps.
18-
Open the door and attach the front upper Velcro to the windshield. Starting at the bottom (flush with the hood plastic), pull the fabric up
as you attach the door Velcro up the windshield.
