Installing the soft-top roof
WARNING: Never attempt to install
the roof while the vehicle is moving.
This could cause an accident in
which you or others may be
seriously injured or killed.

Open both doors. Remove the roof
assembly and support stays from the bag.
Note:
The support stays and the side rails
on the roof assembly have arrows on them
which should point to the front of the
vehicle when installing.
1.
Fit the two support stays between the
header rails. The support stays will
need to be flexed to enable them to fit
into the slots in the header rails.
2.
Inspect the channels in the header rails
and remove any debris (such as
leaves) that may have accumulated.
3.
Position the roof assembly across the
space between the two support stays.
Ensure that the arrows moulded on the
side rails are pointing to the front of
the vehicle.
4.
Standing at the left-hand side, unroll
the roof. Starting at the left-hand side
minimizes potential damage to the
roof seals.
5.
Position the side rail so that the black
locating pins are located in the
uppermost slots on the front and rear
header rails.
TR1455
6.
Ensure that the front and rear edges of
the roof are correctly located in the
channels on the header rails.
7.
Rotate the side rail downwards until
the side rail locking pins are correctly
located in the lower slots and you hear
them ‘click’ into place.
8.
Check that both locking pins are
correctly engaged by attempting to
rotate the side rail upwards.
9.
Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the
passenger side of the roof. You may
need to pull on the side rail to engage
the locating pins on the header rails.
10.
Inspect the fitted roof to ensure that
the front and rear edges are correctly
located in the channels on the header
rails. Incorrect fitment can result in
damaged seals and water leakage.
WARNING: Before driving, check
that both side rails are securely
fitted. An incorrectly fitted or unsecured
roof could result in an accident which
could lead to serious injury or even
death.

Note:
The window position has been
adjusted to accommodate the roof
supplied with your vehicle. To prevent
water from entering the passenger
compartment when using the alternate
type of roof, you should have Tesla Motors
or an authorised repairer adjust your
windows.
