Step 5. Horizontal And Vertical Rods. Place front of
horizontal rod (Item 15) into bracket on windshield frame.
On M38 models the bracket may need to be bent in at a
90 degree angle to be the same as a CJ-3A. There are left
and right horizontal rods. The right is identified by having a
white mark at one end. The washer on the rod will be
closest to the front bow when installed. The washer should
also be at the bottom of the rod and to the inside of the
vehicle. Measure 30 1/2" from dash and mark a line on top
of body flange. Drill a 1/2" hole centered from side to side.
Put one end of vertical rod (Item 16) into 1/2" hole drilled in
body and the other end into washer welded on horizontal

into lower hole. Repeat for other side. Thread center strap
through footman loop mounted on windshield frame and
tighten.

(Item 5). These items must pivot, so do not over tighten.
Repeat for other side. Place rear bow covers (Item 6) over
rear bow halves (Item 7). Slide bow halves together. Place
rear bow into center set of holes in rear bow lock. Fasten

(Item 5). Again these Items must pivot, so do not over
tighten. Repeat for other side. Place center strap (Item 8)
over front bow half (Item 9). Slip front bow covers (Item 10)
over front bow halves. Place front bow into front of bow
mount. Place 1/4-20 x 1 1/2" hex bolt through bow mount
