Step 1: Remove Existing Soft Top Fabric
Put on safety glasses. After verifying that you
have the correct factory original bow system and
hardware, remove the existing soft top from the
vehicle.
This process will entail removing all Quarter win-
dows, unscrewing the top from the rear bows and
removing the fabric from the windshield header by
unscrewing or loosening 19 or 27 header
screws (Depending on model year). See below for
Header fabric removal options (Step 1B).
Make sure you keep all screws and fasteners in a
safe place after removal. You will be using them
again later in the installation. See FIGs 1, 2, 3
& 4. Once the soft top is removed, inspect all of
your hardware to make sure no parts are bent or
missing.
Step 1A: Detach Old Top Fabric from Header
For Model Years 2010-2018 Only:
You will need to peel back the corner foam and
un- screw the cable attachment on both ends of
the header using a
Phillips Head Screw driver
.
For Model Years 2007-2009 Only:
You will need to peel back the foam and remove
the two corner screws that hold a plastic mounting
flange located in the same vicinity.
See FIGs 5, 6, 7 & 8.
The following header installation will be easier to accomplish with the help of
another person. This step will most likely be the most difficult step in the install
and you should take your time. The easiest way to install this header is stan-
ding on the front seats facing forward.
We suggest placing a towel or cover on the seats to protect them from dirt &
debris from your shoes. Once the soft top header fabric is installed in the fac-
tory header, the remaining installation is very straight forward.
