The Mounting Assembly

This section will lead you through the installation of the various pieces that make up your
Convertible Top hardware system.

Bow Assembly

CAUTION: Installation of the Bow Assemblies involves drilling in the top edge of the
vehicle body. Check under the body edge at the marked locations. There may be wiring
for the rear lights. If so, pull the wiring out of the way before drilling.

Note:  It may be necessary to remove any Roll Bar Padding.

Step One

Measure 15 1/2 inches along the top edge of the vehicle from the door jam (see Figure 2).
Mark the locations with a pencil on each side of the vehicle. This will be the location of the
front hole  of the Bow Assembly Mounting Brackets.

Area detailed at right

Step Two

This step will require two people. Locate the left and right Bow Assemblies in the parts kit.
Select one of the assemblies and lay the assembly on the body. Center the front hole of
the Bow Assembly Mount Bracket on the 15 1/2 inch mark. Using the Bow Mounting
Bracket as a template, center punch and drill a 3/16" hole. Secure the front hole of the
Bow Assembly Mount Bracket with a #14 Sheet Metal Screw. Lift up the Bow Assembly
and, again, using the Bow Assembly Mounting Bracket as a template, mark, center punch
and drill a 3/16 inch hole for the rear of the bracket. Secure the rear hole with a #14 Sheet
Metal Screw. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side of the vehicle. Lay the Bow
Assemblies down onto the body and connect the Bow Halves together with the Bow
Couplers. Slide the foam sleeves on the front bow to the center of the Bow Coupler on the
front Bow Assembly.

Note: The flat side at the front of the Horizontal Assemblies will mount to the outside of
the existing windshield brackets.
