Install the Tailgate Bar and Rear Window to the Body of the Jeep®
Slide the”C” shaped channel onto the tube sewn into the rear window with the round seal down. See FIG 61 for correct
alignment.
Slide the tailgate bar all the way across the rear curtain. Open the rear tailgate. As shown in FIG 62, insert/
roll the tail-gate bar into the mounts on each side of the tailgate with the vinyl side of the rear curtain facing
the rear of the vehicle.
Once the Tailgate bar in secure, lower zippers on both sides of the rear curtain (FIG 63) and then secure the rear
zipper
cover flap as shown in FIG 64.
Step 11
Ensure your Front Header is properly adjusted on the windshield
The Adventure Top has been engineered to the original factory windshield measurements but in rare cases, this mea-
surement may vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle due to prolonged use of the vehicle, worn seals or other factors.
To make sure your windshield header is sealed properly on the windshield, please see FIGs 65 &66 which show the
proper location of the front header on the windshield when the front header is clamped down and the over door bows
are attached to the bow brackets.
If your windshield header seals as shown in these pictures you are all ready to go and no further adjustments are
necessary. If the header “overhangs” the windshield or exposes the inside windshield seal, the header on your vehicle
is not sealed correctly and you will get air and potentially water leaks.

Knob facing inward
with the slot in the
quick release
facing straight up
If your windshield header is over-hanging or seems “short” on the windshield, you will need to slightly relocate the quick
release knobs on the over door bows forwards or backwards. This slight change will move the entire header forward (for
“short” mis-location) or backward (For Header “over-hang”).
Locate the over door quick release knob shown in FIG67. Remove the screw holding the knob on the tube using a Philips
head screw driver and move the quick release Knob forward or backward (Backward for overhang,
forward for short) about ¼” or less making sure the slot on the quick release knob is facing up (FIG 68)
and the knob itself is facing inwards.
Using a 3/32 drill bit, drill a new pilot hole and attach the screw you just removed in the new hole. Repeat
on the opposite side. This “fine tuning” will make air and water tight.
