Installing the hard-top roof
The hard-top roof has been designed to
provide a seasonal alternative to the
standard soft-top roof. To ensure correct
installation, Tesla recommends that the is
installed by a Tesla service technician.
WARNING: The mounting bracket
bolts securing the hard-top to the
vehicle should be routinely checked and
tightened. An incorrectly fitted or
unsecured hard-top could result in an
accident.

When storing the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken to avoid damaging the
corners. If the roof must be stood on its
end, use a suitable soft floor covering.
Note: Because of its size, the hard-top
should only be removed or installed when
a second person is available to assist.
1. If necessary, remove the soft-top. For
instructions, see Removing the
soft-top roof, page 7-11.
2. Open both doors.
3. With the aid of an assistant, lift the roof
into position on the vehicle. Take care
to avoid getting hands or fingers
trapped.
4. Tilt the front of the roof to engage the
locating pins into the lower most slots
on the header rail. If necessary, loosen
the locating pin bolts to ensure that
the pins engage correctly on the
header rail.
