If the vehicle has previously had a tailgate bar bracket (Soft Top Vehicles):
Place the Tailgate Bar Bracket on the outside of the tailgate opening lining up each hole (from previous Tailgate brack-
ets) with the existing holes already drilled in the tailgate (FIGs 35 & 36).
Hand tighten all provided #8 x 1/2” Pan Head washer screws into place holding the Tailgate bracket in place. Repeat on
other side of Tailgate opening. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten all four screws securing the tailgate
bar bracket to the vehicle.
Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten. Doing so may over tighten the screws causing damage to your body (FIGs 37,
38 & 39).
If the vehicle has not had a tailgate bar bracket on it before:
Line up the driver’s side Tailgate Bar Bracket with
the inside of the tailgate opening as shown in FIG 36.
Use the retainers as a template to mark and drill two 1/8” holes. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten each
screw until the Tailgate bar bracket is secure. Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten. Doing so may over tighten the
screws causing damage to your body (FIGs 38 & 39).
Repeat on Passenger side.

Step 7A
Installing the Quarter and Rear Windows to the Top Deck
To ensure the top is centered on the vehicle you will be installing the two quarter windows and the rear window
to the top deck and to each other before securing it to the vehicle body.
Install TIP:
To make this as easy as possible, you may have to release the front windshield header (release but not un-
hook) and loosen the rear corner straps installed in step 5. This will allow you to line up all window zippers and at-
tachments. The rear corner straps and header will need to be re-tightened/clamped before using the top.
Locate the drivers rear quarter window. Line up the driver’s side Quarter window to the zipper on the deck and zip it as
shown in FIG’s 40, 41, 42 & 43. Repeat this on the passenger side of the vehicle
.
