INSTALL TAILGATE BAR ON VEHICLE
Before installing the tailgate bar to your
Jeep, please examine the belt rail next to
the rear tailgate opening. This belt can
be accidentally bent upwards over time
so you may
need to gently
press the belt
rail back down
to achieve a
proper seal.
Insert the Tailgate Bar into the mounts
on each side of the tailgate opening
with the vinyl side of the Rear Window
toward the outside of the vehicle.
SECURE REAR WINDOW ZIPPERS
To start the zipper, pull the two sliders
as far down as
possible on the
driver’s side of the
window in order
to catch the
sliders to the pin.
Once the zipper is
caught, start the
top slider 1/2". Then hold up the top of
the window with one hand and close
the zipper with the other. The zipper is
sandwiched between layers of fabric in
the corners so be careful not to catch
extra fabric in the zipper
Close the zipper. Make sure that the
Tailgate Bar is centered and is securely
in the mounts. Then tuck the flaps on
the Rear Window under the top fabric.
Installation is now complete.
