Softopper Installation Instructions

Jeep Wrangler YJ 02

Please read instructions thoroughly before starting installation

**Remove all contents of the Softopper carefully to protect from scratches.**

Windows scratch easily! Keep protective layer placed between them when they are stacked.

Estimated Installation Time: 1 hour

Beginning Note:

It is best to do the initial installation in warmer temperatures (70+ degrees F). The

fabric of the top is at its tightest when it is new. Installing it in warmer temperatures
initially will ensure that the fabric is easier to work with. The fabric of the top will relax
slightly with time and become easier to put on.
